Nascar2 and Kahn

All of you new (and old) Nascar2 racers who want to race real people need
to get Kahn.   I just installed KahnDOS and I love it.  Had a great race
last night with some dude from CA.  It's a freakin blast.  It took a while
to set it up but now that it's running OK it's great.  There's even a Kahn
server (wheretorace) dedicated to racing.

The only gripe I have is that it was hard finding someone to race against.
More people need to get on the ball and get Kahn.  Stop waiting for TEN.
Race now on Kahn.  The DOS version is totally free and it didn't take me
long to set up..

It's not Kahn, or Kali that is the problem.

It's the bandwidth that the host must have.

For Head to Head via Kahn/Kali the host must be able to maintain an
incoming stream of about 1350 cps.

For each additional racer, the host must be able to increase the
incoming bandwidth by 1350cps.

With current modems, 2700 cps isn't something you can maintain over an
extended period of time.

The big problem is Nascar2 in IPX mode wastes about 900 of the 1350 cps.

TEN's solution it to create hosts with plenty of bandwidth.
The bandwidth for each racer will probably be closer to the 960 cps.
