Alright, don't laugh your head off or anything, but a buddy of mine
told me that you could buy these headset microphones for your computer
and talk to your buddy while simultaneously racing him in NASCAR2. I
don't know much about modems at all, but this doesn't sound right to me.
Is there anyone out here that can confirm or deny this? If possible,
I'd like to do it, but right now I'm skeptical that it's possible...

You can do this buy getting a DVSD (Digital Simultanious Vioce/Data) modem. You both will need to
have one of these in order to talk to each other. I havn't tried it, but I've heard that it adds a
new dimintion to the racing experience.

He and I race a lot with DSVD and it adds a lot to the head-to-head racing
experience.

I just bought 3 USR DSVD modems for friends from office depot in
C***te, NC for $79.99 each. They are sending in the $20 holiday
rebate coupons (get them from the service desk at O.D.. BTW, there are
2 different coupons, so get the HOLIDAY rebate coupon.) for a net of
about $65 with tax. Now THAT'S a deal for a 33.6 wth DSVD!

It's such a great deal because the Vi models are not upgradeable to
USR's new X2 technology. From USR's webpage: "The Vi product line was
not built with the advanced technology architecture necessary to
support the x2 protocol. Since the Vi product is an older architecture,
and has been in the process of being discontinued since July of 1996,
it is not suitable for the x2 environment."
Still, for $65 how can you go wrong?

You can do this if you have a USR DSVD (Digital Simultaneous Voice and
Data) modem. Other companies make DSVD modems also. Both people need these
types of modems in order to talk and play at the same time. I have one and
it works great!
