I think both ADoom and DoomAttack support TCP/IP (dunno about PPC versions
though).
On a similar note does anyone know if it's possible to link up any Amiga Doom
engine to a DOS version via a serial cable? It seems the Amiga versions use
an incompatible protocol to the DOS versions. Other than doing a bit of
programming the only way I can think of is setting up a TCP/IP link over
serial, which is probably a bit too demanding for my old 8Mb 486 laptop.
