This archive contains information about how to get serial (modem
and nul-modem) connections between two computers for the purpose
of playing multiplayer DOOM (which is a mighty good thing to
do!:)

You do NOT really need this file if you have no problems using
doom in this way.

This is a modified version of a file of the same name that was
originally uploaded to infant2.

I have not altered any of the original files, except to add this
README.1ST file to the archive... AND

The original version of this archive contained the file
BNUDM126.ZIP, which is NOW REMOVED from the original
distribution!
                 +--------------------------------------------+
                 | IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT A COPY OF  bnudm126.zip |
                 |        THEN YOU NEED TO GET IT!!!          |
                 | ftp infant2.sphs.indiana.edu               |
                 | cd  /pub/doom/multi_doom                   |
                 +--------------------------------------------+
This was done for a couple of reasons:
BNUDM126 is a work of passion, love, hard labour and a fair bit
   of testing (I should know, I beta-tested it for my bother
   David who did write it! :)
It can, does, and *deserves* to stand in it's own right.
It works very well indeed (for ver 1.2 of doom, that is; don't
   know if it will work for the 1.4 & 1.5 beta's, or for the next
   major stable release version).
It is also a very redundant exercise to include another
   well-known archive within this one.

BTW, the two FAQ's enclosed here are also separately available
from the doom directories at infant2.

To the person who original made this compilation (and uploaded it):
  --- the only identification within the file is the name:
                                ARNOLD          in May 1994
                                                Eschborn / Germany
      and nothing more :-(   Sorry I couldn't contact you about this!

(Hey Arnold, why did you upload a BBS utility to infant2, which
is supposed to be a doom-only site??  :-)

Hope I haven't offended anybody by doing this.  If I have, tough!  :)
