I can't get modem play to work ? If I run as host, and select modem
connection I immediately get a alert saying "The network connection
could not be opened". It hasn't even asked me for a number to dial
yet! I have a modem configured (in fact it is used by Dialup
Networking to connect  to my ISP). What's going on ?

Any help appreciated.

If you run as HOST than you will be HOSTING another player...as in THEY
WILL
CALL YOU. It's not asking you for a phone number to dial when you run as
host
because it has need reason to call anyone.

A friend and I had the same problem. It was solved by changing the
modem's settings (Control Panel >> Modem >> Properties) to:

19200; buffers both Low; Error, Compression, and Flow Control OFF.

That should do it.

You also might want to check if you have any fax software installed and
active that might interfere with putting your modem in answer mode.
Another thing to try is have your friend host, and see if you get the
same type of problems with you join (which should prompt you to enter a
number to dial.)

Hope this helps,
Rich

It MTM any good?

I don't know about the modem/network play, but I do like MTM. My son
really likes MTM because it allows you to drive off the track and drive
into the water, over hills, into outdoor toilets, etc. However, I think
you should have at least a Pentium to run this. I think I will buy it
whenever the full version is released.

I have the trial version and I can't get IPX networking to work in Win95.
My IPX n/w works fine in MSDOS for quake.  Any ideas?

has to have a second

The easiest way to play MTR over the net is to go to http://beta.zone.com

There you can play Hellbender, or MTR full or Demo version.  And it's free.

We were playing the game and talking over the phone and he would say
something like 'hey, I just rammed you", and it was not the same thing as
what I was seeing on the screen. When it gets mixed signals, it takes
over the driving until the connection is better. i don't like that....
