- To all the frustrated DOOMERS out there, who want to play with
- their friends by telephone - listen to this...
-
- *******************************************************************************
- *************************** IT CAN BE DONE !!!!!!! ****************************
- *******************************************************************************
-
- You only need :
-
- - this Text (well i have to mention it)
- - the file BNUDM126.ZIP
- - Generic or Creatix 14400 Fax/Data Modem (optional)
-
-
- This package includes following files:
-
- - modem_1.cfg : the configuration file for one of
- you two doomers
-
- - modem_2.cfg : the second modem configuration
- file for the other doomer
-
- - modem.faq : frequent asked questions about modem-
- play of DOOM
-
- - serial.faq : like above, but with other hints
-
- - readme_a.txt : the file you are reading right now
-
- - mdic150.txt : a dictionary for the most asked
- questions of modem-use
-
- - bnudm126.zip : now thats the one you waited so long
- for ! It includes the new bugfree (?)
- version of sersetup.exe
-
-
- How to handle :
-
- First of all you have to unzip the file bnudm126.zip.
- Then you replace your old sersetup.exe-file in your doom-directory with the
- new one from bnudm126.zip.
-
- After that you have to create your own modem.cfg. If you have the modem
- mentioned above, you can simply replace your old modem.cfg in your
- doom-directory with the new one of modem_1.cfg, but remember to rename it
- to modem.cfg before you store it in your doom directory !
-
- Now your buddy must do the same procedure with one little exception:
- If you have stored the file modem_1.cfg in your directory, your buddy MUST
- store the other file called modem_2.cfg in his directory or vice versa,
- but again remember to rename the files to modem.cfg before you store them !
- You will ask now - why this dude want to run two different init-strings ?
- I find out, that you have to have one Master-Modem and one Slave-Modem. The
- Master-Modem handles all the extras like error correction, V42bis (if possible)
- , compression and so on. The Slave-Modem may not have any of this enabled.
- You will see and understand it when you look at the modem_*.cfg's.
-
- I did it with a friend of mine and we had have a GREAT OUTCOME of this
- procedure (don't ask how many phonecalls it had cost before we could play..:-))
- We had NO remarkable yerkiness or stucky motion by playing !!! It was a normal
- city-to-city call over aproximately 10.000 meters distance.
- It was just like playing alone with your local computer. So you can have
- ultimate fun by modem-playing of DOOM. If you read the enclosed texts, you
- will see, that there are many possibilities to improve the gameplay (when
- you need it). For example, you can change the rx- and tx-buffer size or the
- baudrate to get it faster...
-
- For those guys or gals who have no creatix modem, read the enclosed texts
- and you probably will find your "string of pleasure". Otherwise - create
- your own one - i did it too...
-
- At least i have to mention the best ftp - adresses for doomers, who want to
- get really mad. Believe me these are the best adresses worldwide, there you
- will find everthing from new WAD's over new Sounds to Construction Tools for
- your own Doom Levels. Furthermore you will find hints, cheats and so on...
- The adresses are :
-
- infant2.sphs.indiana.edu
- wuarchive.wustl.edu
-
- I thing infant2 is the better one, and you can be connected more easily,
- because wustl is always (!) in frequent use.
-
- ...and please vorgife mi for my bed sbelling...
