I played falcon 3.0 on two 486 via null modem.  My patch level is only "A",
but falcon locked up frequently and the sync between planes often lagged up 
to two seconds. (I know this, becuse I could see both monitors at the same
time.)  For example, my friend would be on my tail, fire, I would explode,
he would celibrate that he blew me up, and then, I would blow up.  I was
very unimpressed with this feature.  We used transfer rates of 19200 bps,
and 38400 bps.
