Contrary to the readme.txt warning that modem's do not work


with quake, I've played via Win95 IPX over a 28.8 modem


connect. It was easy to set up and worked flawlessly for


over 2hrs. This was between a 16meg P5-60 and a 16meg


P5-100. Great looking engine, can't wait till there's something


other than my friends to shoot!
