Seeing more than 7 ahead in NASCAR 2 Player Mode

Does anybody know how to enable the client (Dialer) to see more
than 7 cars ahead when racing NASCAR in the 2 player mode over
an IPX LAN?  Currently the client can only see 7 ahead no
matter how many "seen ahead" have been choosen in the options
menu.  Surely there is enough bandwidth to support seeing more
than 7 ahead on an ethernet LAN.  

The Host (Answer) can already see as many ahead as is set in the
options menu.

Allen - the NASCAR 1.21 / MULTI.EXE IPX two player client is only receiving
7 cars ahead, because it is using the same capabilities as modem play for
delivering cars.  For the NASCAR II release, one of the enhancements
planned is to increase the number of cars visible during network (NOT
modem) play.
