Hi guys...

Here the promised package for the serial play with DOOM.
Just unarj the doomser.arj e.g. in your Doom directory. There will then
be 2 directorys named host1 and host2. On has to enter the host1 dir,
the other the host2 dir and then start  startnet.bat.
This script will load the needed drivers in the right order. After that,
let the slower PC start the network game. Use best the easiest level (as
there are nearly no enemys so less data will be transfered). Then the faster
PC has to be started.
Occasionaly they won't get a connection. Try it again with both starting at
the same time or something like that.
You will perhaps also have to edit the startnet.bat, as the ethersl.com
needs the irq and the address your com port uses with which you play.
The script uses the standard config for the COM2, for others read some
terminalprog manuals or something like that. You can also change the
speed with which the serial is used, but 57600 is the maximum for this
driver, so DON'T USE A HIGHER SPEED!
With less speed, the game gets really slow.
For real hackers: If you change the byte at offset 0CE7 from E1 to 0, you
can also use it with 19200, but we have had best results with our setting.

I hope you'll enjoy it until the DOOM 1.1 release gets out.

Have fun, and happy dooming :)

Read ya, Phil & Frank
