Correct.
To be honest I don't know :-) I never mess with that stuff and suggest
that you might want to concentrate on making the connection. Then
fine tuning with that stuff makes sense. The default for N1999 is the
2 modem players are cars #64 and #96 and they are both called
"The_Player". I use the F2 key to keep track of where everyone is
and it is prett easy to spot your opponant. We also bypass qualifing
and practice and just do several 10% races starting from the rear.
You might want to start with the computer strength at around 95%
and use stock setups. You will find the true driver then :-)
All you have to do is make sure you have your modem setup
for DOS properly. If you have a Winmodem that does not have
a DOS mode you may have problems. I ran modem-modem in
both N2 and NR1999 with no problem as long as the modem
can be configured in DOS. You have to know the com port and
have a good idea which modem to pick from the list. I/we also
found that 9600 baud is just fine even with a full field.
If you tell me specifically what parts you get stuck on I can try
to help. And if you are in the 630 area code I would be willing
to give some personal assistance.
