Grand Prix 2 - Network + Direct Link

Finally I did it.
My System is: 1 pentium 133 + 1 pentium 100 both with NE2000 cards.
I manage to link Grand Prix 2 through netware using only one cdrom and
connect them also with direct cable (com 2).
On the pentium 133 I did a standard instalation (46 Mb) using the 8x
cdrom drive.
To install in the pentium 100, first in the pentium 133 I enter in a
configuration to start the novell netware, then in the pentium 100 I
start a similar configuration to start the netware. From the pentium 100
I went to the cdrom drive of the pentium 133 (in my case W:) and I
install Grand Prix 2 the standard installation (46 Mb). After the
instalation in the pentium 100 I start CDEMU2 W: to simulate a cdrom
drive in W:. After this long process I started Grand Prix 2 on both
computers and linked both by the com2 port, speed 2400. And that's all
folks. I did a QuickRace and the graph speed was very smooth on both
computers.

You have to have Novell Netware or some other networking program, I
guess? My "network" is physically the same as yours, but I only load
lsl.com, ipxodi.com, and ne2000.com. Is there a possibility to achieve
the effect you described w/o buying Netware? (A freeware prog or
something?)

How exactly is it possible to link up GP2 over a Netware LAN.  We have
a 4.1 Netware network and we're getting fed up with Screamer.  We want
GP2!
