Playing network games over a modem ?

Can u play a network game over modem connection, I am running win98 and feel i should be able to do this via dial up networking, if anyone has any info on how to do this. I want to be able to play games against my friend who isnt on the Net, but we both get free local calls so we would like the ability to play Internet or Network games over the phone, line. Im sure this must be possible, is there any software available that allows u to do it ? please help thankyou Vic

I don't know of any game supporting multiplay, that doesn't also support modem-modem. Should be built-in already. Gunner

You must have missed an obscure little game called Quake 2. :-> Recent versions of Windows include a dial-up server. Set it up on your machine, and have your friend dial in. Web search for "dial-up server" for more info. -- spamgard(tm): To email me, put "geek" in your Subject line.

Never heard of it; should I have? <G> Actually it's the PLUS Pack that has the Dial-up server; it's not inherent in Win95. I understand it IS a part of Win98, tho. Gunner
