I was thinking of getting cable internet access and was wondering if N2 would work on "modem" or "network". I just want to race 1 other person but don't want to have to use Kali. Anyone have an idea? And don't tell me to use the modem I have because the purpose is not to tie my phone line up all hours of the day and night :) Thanks.. -- I think people can figure out the spam filter to reply to me..

By choosing not to run Kali, your answer is NO. The internet is TCP/IP, Nascar2 is IPX. Papy is modifing thier code to work with TEN via TCP/IP. But I doubt this will be usable for head 2 head (or 8 racers) natively on the internet. Another thing to check for is cable internet access MAY be download only. This means you still need to use the modem to send requests to the local cable company. Instead of receiving the files/pages via your modem they would come thru the cable much faster. Thats the way the cable company in my area implemented it. In my opinion, that stinks. But the "masses" will buy anything these days. mykey
Kel, Most of your questions on the "WAVE" can be answered at www.shaw.ca. Unfortunately, I'm in a system without this luxury yet...
