Super 1 Karting networking doesnt work more than 3

Hi guys just a quick word on the game Super 1 Karting from Midas,
while the game
is great fun and I really do like it for raceing against the AI, I
cant say the same for its network play, it supposed to support 8
players of IPX (no TCP/IP) anyway basicly it doesnt work after 3
players, I tried all lats night for about 2 hours with 6 guys at my
house on a 10mbit network,  we could only get 3 players in to the game
if we tried 4 the game would just stall or sort of time out we tried 3
player combos of all the guys in the room just to check that they
could all play and there wasnt a promblem with anyones machine.

Some things we discoverd if you try though, in Super 1 Karting you get
to pick a Kart number from 1-24 depending on how many players you have
make sure they all select diffrent Kart number from the main screen
before you click on network play, if anyone at all has the same Kart
number the computers will hang and will crash the game. We had lots of
trouble with this part of the proccess but once we figured it out we
managed to get 3 players playing.

Anyway apart from the ***networking implemented by Midas the game
still rocks for racing against AI or another friend.

In the end we just went back to Nascar 3.
