JH-> I appreciate your detailed message but, unfortunately, I'm not sure
JH-> i you AGREE or DISAGREE with my (admittedly ill-informed)
JH-> conclusion th a DOS interlnk/intersrv connection won't work for
JH-> DUKE3D play between two PCs. Will it?
-> OK.... To answer your question, you CAN use the SAME connection as
-> you would for Interlnk and play DOOM or another serial game on it...
-> But you CANNOT do it at the same time as you have an Interlnk
-> connection established. You also CANNOT play serial games with ANY
-> type of parallel interface, meaning that if you use a parallel cable
-> to connect two PCs running Interlnk, you can't use that same
-> connection to play games. Serial games all require an IBM-standard
-> (for IBM ver. games, of course) serial RS-232 (standard) port. This
-> can be either 9 or 25-pin, female D-Shell jack. Not a parallel
-> (printer) interface.
Again, thanks for replying. Joe Siegler also replied the other day.
His answer was simply: "it won't."
