I've played over a nul modem cable, and with 9600, the game ran -very- slow (with two 486
DX2's), but when the transfer rate was set to 19200, the game ran as smoothly (as fast as in one
player, or at least no difference was noticed).

If your friend is thinking of upgrading, I can say that this game is execlent on two player, but
you will need pratice in avoiding each other (no sideways vision you see)
