Yes, I think you can only use an Amiga doom with a Windows doom which was
based on the Linux source. And I had been trying, but I haven't been able
to get it to work -- I need to know exactly which Windows engine I should
be using, and the exact procedure for starting up the network game. With
the versions I've been using, they don't find each other's game for
whatever reason.
So, has anyone on this list successfully linked doom on Windows to a doom
on the Amiga via ethernet?
