What is DOOMIPX, how does it work: DOOMIPX is a minimal implementation of
the IPX protocol; it contains only calls required for DOOM to
communicate with other nodes. DOOMIPX converts IPXSendPacket to
NETBIOS Send Datagram and IPXListenForPacket to NETBIOS Receive
Datagram, allowing DOOM to run on a NETBIOS network such as
Lantastic.
What is the difference between DOOMIPX.COM and DOOMIPX2.COM: The Send
Datagram portions of the two programs are the same, but the Receive
Datagram portions are a little different. Through limited testing,
I think DOOMIPX2 is a little quicker. You may use either one.
Note: I have tested this software on a Lantastic network with two
computers (Intel DX33 and Cyrix DLC40). So if it works between two
computers and not three, It may be my bug. Also, this code sends
NETBIOS Datagrams larger than 512 bytes; so if it does not work you
may try increasing the packet size of the Ethernet Card Driver.
To install, simply type DOOMIPX n (n = 1-4 and is unique to the workstation)
Distribution: The .COM files are shareware, you may distribute them freely.
The source code is not shareware, please do not distribute it.
Any contributions would be appreciated.
Source Code: The source code is 100% assembler and available for $15.00
If you want a copy (for both DOOMIPX and DOOMIPX2) send cheque to:

Future Versions: I will attempt to write a version that connects two nodes
via serial port. I have software that does this but both my machines
have 8250 serial ports (no FIFO) and they overrun even at 9600 Baud.
I'll try to make a version that works well with 8250 type UARTs.
