IPX via modem?

I help people out on here whenever I can, now it's my turn to ask for help. A friend of mine got one of those damned jumperless plug and play modems so we are now unable to do head to head via modem in Nascar 2 due to the lack of any real modem com ports on his machine. We have been able to set up our machines to do TCP/IP via modem to play Quake 2 (no native modem support), but I just can't figure out how to get the IPX protocol to work that way. Has anyone out there been successful in pulling this off? If you have, please provide me with DETAILED instructions on how to do this. A response via e-mail would be preferred but as I read this NG every day you can post it here as well. If I can get this going I will put all the information on a web page, complete with screen shots of the steps involved in the process, so that other people enslaved by the gift/burden of plug and play can play IPX DOS games (in a Win 95 DOS box) via modem.

I plugged away at this for a long time and had no luck at all. I had 2 PC's with 2 phone lines and tried every protocol combination but could never get IPX to work properly. IPX was there, but the 2 machines were on different subnets or something so wouldn't pick each other up. My suggestion is to use Kali. Just set up the dial up like you would to run Quake 2 but then set up a kali server on the dial up machine and join with the other. This is probably a better way to do it anyway Kali has been designed for low bandwidth. If you also use wingate you can join two LAN,s together over a modem . Hope this helps . Todd.
