What Net DOOM needs
----------------------
	The network version of DOOM looks for the IPX (Internet Packet
	Exchange) driver to be loaded in memory.  This is the protocol
	that DOOM uses to communicate on the network.


	Hardware
	--------
	For simple 2-4 machine networking, obtain a network card for
	each PC (which can handle the ThinNet or 10base2...coaxial...network
	cabling), 10base2 cabling to connect the PC's together, a BNC
	T-connector for each network card to connect the network cabling to
	the PC's, and two coaxial network terminators to terminate each end
	of the network segment.  That's the hardware necessary for a quick
	network.


	IPX Software drivers
	-----------------------
	The easiest and quickest way to get a small network setup for just
	doing network DOOMing, is to obtain the updated Novell ODI (Open
	Device Interface) drivers from the Microsoft BBS (206-637-6735)
	or from ftp.microsoft.com.  [These drivers are in an archive called
	novell.exe....located in the Files, Windows, Misc section of the BBS.]

	From this archive, you will use the lsl.com and ipxodi.com files.
	The rest you can discard.  Finally, you will need to obtain the
	ODI or Netware v3.1x driver for your network card, which usually
	comes on a diskette with the card.  Check ftp.oak.oakland.edu,
	ftp.3com.com, ftp.microsoft.com, ftp.ftp.com, ftp.cica.indiana.edu,
	and the Microsoft BBS for some of the most common drivers.


	o  Sample Install  (Using a Novell NE2000 compatible card.)
	Finally, use the following batch file as a guide on how to utilize
	these drivers.	It assumes that the above drivers are located in
	the c:\doom directory.

	NETDOOM.BAT
	  @echo off
	  REM *** batch file to start network version of doom ***
	  :Setup
	     cd\doom
	  :StartNet
	     lsl.com
	     ne2000.com
	     ipxodi.com
	  :NetDOOM
	     setup
	  :StopNet
	     ipxodi.com /u
	     ne2000.com /u
	     lsl.com /u
	  :End
	     cd\
