This archive contains information about how to get serial (modem and nul-modem) connections between two computers for the purpose of playing multiplayer DOOM (which is a mighty good thing to do!:) You do NOT really need this file if you have no problems using doom in this way. This is a modified version of a file of the same name that was originally uploaded to infant2. I have not altered any of the original files, except to add this README.1ST file to the archive... AND The original version of this archive contained the file BNUDM126.ZIP, which is NOW REMOVED from the original distribution! +--------------------------------------------+ | IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT A COPY OF bnudm126.zip | | THEN YOU NEED TO GET IT!!! | | ftp infant2.sphs.indiana.edu | | cd /pub/doom/multi_doom | +--------------------------------------------+ This was done for a couple of reasons: BNUDM126 is a work of passion, love, hard labour and a fair bit of testing (I should know, I beta-tested it for my bother David who did write it! :) It can, does, and *deserves* to stand in it's own right. It works very well indeed (for ver 1.2 of doom, that is; don't know if it will work for the 1.4 & 1.5 beta's, or for the next major stable release version). It is also a very redundant exercise to include another well-known archive within this one. BTW, the two FAQ's enclosed here are also separately available from the doom directories at infant2. To the person who original made this compilation (and uploaded it): --- the only identification within the file is the name: ARNOLD in May 1994 Eschborn / Germany and nothing more :-( Sorry I couldn't contact you about this! (Hey Arnold, why did you upload a BBS utility to infant2, which is supposed to be a doom-only site?? :-) Hope I haven't offended anybody by doing this. If I have, tough! :) Tony Nugent T.Nugent@sct.gu.edu.au (Please don't email me about questions relating to the rest of the contents of this archive:)
