Finally managed to get Netscape to install and work today after many
ptoblems. Was really looking forward to some online GPL through VROC.

Problem, if I try abd host a game, when GPL starts up it drops my
modem link. If I try to join a hopsted game, the "join" next to the
race does not do anything.
Am I being a***head and missing something or what?
Any help would be appreciated.

I think you need to get the core.ini file for modem users and I think
it is on Alisons web site somewhere

I ran accross similar problems until I downloaded the VROC software.  Also,
make sure your VROC setup info is correct (GPL path, modem speed, etc....)
I ended up going back over the VROC help to make sure I had followed
everything in order.  See ya on the track.

1) Read *all* the vroc faq and help files.
2) D/l the gplping file and copy it to your gpl directory.
3) D/l the core.ini file and copy it to your gpl directory.
4) Ensure you make the necessary changes to your DUN settings as
recommended by the faq & help files.

Thanks for the tips guys, unfortuneately I haven't been able to
connect to the VROC site to try them. The server seems very dodgy as I
had trouble last time, I also ahve trouble getting to the APEX site
which is on the same server I think. I hope it gets moved to a better
one.

Tried all the tips, but still get the same problem. When I gointo the
multiplayer screen I get the IP address for the game I want to join
but it wont let me enter it !!

Samething happened to me.  I reran the VROC setup and forgot to point it
to the correct GPL drive and directory.  Double check and make sure your
VROC setup points to your GPL drive.
