NASCAR MODEM CONNECT?

HELLO EVERYONE, MY BROTHER AND I ARE TRYING TO LINK NASCAR VIA MODEM. WE CAN GET ALL THE WAY UNTIL WE GET TO THE POINT WHERE THE GAMES ARE EXCHANGING TRACK INFORMATION BEFORE IT CRASHES. WE BOTH HAVE VERSION 1.21, I AM USING A ZOLTRIX 28.8 MODEM AND HE IS USING A GATEWAY 14.4. MY QUESTION IS ... BECAUSE WE GOT AS FAR AS WE DID, DOES THIS MEAN OUR MODEM CHOICES IN THE SETUP SCREEN ARE O.K.? IF SO WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM EXCHANGING TRACK INFORMATION? IF WE CAN'T GET IT WORKING SOON, SHOULD WE JUST DOWNLOAD THE HAWAII PROGRAM AND USE THIS TO CONNECT TO EACH OTHER? ANY INPUT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!! DOUG BORDERS

Hi! If you have too many tracks loaded, ie. converted Indy Car tracks, It could cause this problem. -- ******************************* * Jeff Murphy * *Here we are now, entertain us* *******************************

First off try not to write in caps, IT GETS HARD TO READ. When hooking up via modem the track info on both games has to be exactly the same. If you edited any of your track.dat or .txt files or anything for that matter it wont work. It sounds like your modems are connecting fine. If you can't get started reload the game the track pack and the 1.21 patch and than you should have the exact setup. don't forget to save your various car setups before you reload your game. Have fun and good luck -- J Mark Piscitelli *******The subject of the above message is subject to subjection********

try to connect at 9600 its much more stable and doesn't make a difference in the play of the game

One important thing is you have to have the same TXT file. Meaning if one of you took ur restrictor plate off and the other guy didn't, you get an incompatible tracks message. I will pull out the old modem manual and try to lower ur connection down to 9600. Ken
