NETWORK AND MODEM PLAY 
-----------------------

-- Network Play: Startup --
To participate in head-to-head play over an IPX or Netbios 
compatible network, you must first make sure you have all the 
proper network cards and software installed on the computers you 
will be using.

First, go to the directory that contains your network files. Type 
NETBIOS and press [ENTER].  If everything is working correctly, 
you will get the message that Netbios has been installed 
successfully.  You must then go to the MechWarrior 2 directory and 
type NETB2 and press [ENTER].  You will then be taken to the 
network communications screen.  Type a message to your opponent to 
ensure you are properly connected.

Once both opponents see their messages, press [ESC] and you will 
be returned to the DOS prompt.  At the DOS prompt, type NETDEMO 
and press [ENTER]. You will be taken to the MechWarrior 2 combat 
screen.  Type in your name and press Enter until you see a picture 
of a 'Mech appear in the lower left window.  Choose your 'Mech by 
selecting the right or left arrow.  You can choose different 
variations of 'Mechs by pressing the first four function keys (F1, 
F2, F3, or F4).  Please keep in mind that not all Mechs have four 
variations.

The next step is to select the type of terrain in which you will 
be fighting.  Your current choices include desert mesas, ice flats  
and a battle arena.  You can type messages to your opponent by 
clicking your mouse in the small black window below the different 
terrains.  Simply right click in the window, type your message and 
press [ENTER].   Now you're ready to fight!  Just click on the 
LAUNCH button and prepare for battle!   

-- Modem Play: Startup --
To play MechWarrior 2 against an opponent via modem, make sure 
your modem is ON and switch to the C:\MECH2 directory, type MS and 
press [ENTER].  You will see the modem control window.  

Select a slot and choose E for Edit and type in your name or the 
name of the person youre going to call.  Then choose the COM port 
your where your modem is installed, usually COM 2.  Next, select a 
baud rate of 9600 and keep pressing [ENTER] until all menu items 
are chosen.  

If you are dialing your opponent, type in the phone number.  If 
you are going to answer, press [ENTER] when you are asked for a 
phone number.  

After completing these steps, select C for connect and you will be 
dropped to a DOS prompt.  At the DOS prompt, type in MODEM and 
press [ENTER]. The modem will either dial your opponents phone 
number for you or answer their incoming call depending on which 
mode you have chosen.  

Once the two modems connect, you will see the chat/communication 
screen.  Type a message to your friend to verify your connection 
and then press ESC.  At the DOS prompt type NETDEMO and press 
[ENTER].  You will see the MechWarrior 2 communications screen.  
Select a slot and type in your name.  Afterwards press ENTER twice 
and the two machines will connect.  Simply choose your 'Mech and 
your playing field and press Launch.  You will then meet in your 
chosen machine at your selected battlefield ready for intense head 
to head combat.

TECHNICAL NOTE: To play, you must have a 16550A UART chip on the 
COM port you are using to play.  You can use the Microsoft 
Diagnostic (MSD.EXE) utility provided with Windows 3.1 and later 
to determine if you have this chip on your COM ports.

-- Null Modem Play: Startup --
To play MechWarrior 2 in Null Modem Mode, connect two computers 
via their serial ports with a null modem cable.  Switch to the 
C:\MECH2 directory and type COMIO 2 and press [ENTER].  

You will be taken to a null modem communications screen, when both 
parties appear in the screen, press [ESC] and you will be returned 
to the DOS prompt.  

Type in NETDEMO and press [ENTER] You will see the MechWarrior 2 
communications screen.  Follow the directions below and you will 
soon be playing one-on-one MechWarrior 2, head to head!

Once the two machines connect, you will see the chat/communication 
screen.  Type a message to your friend to verify your connection 
and then press ESC.  At the DOS prompt type NETDEMO and press 
[ENTER].  You will see the MechWarrior 2 communications screen.  
Select a slot and type in your name.  Afterwards press ENTER twice 
and the two machines will connect again.  Simply choose your 'Mech 
and your playing field and press Launch.  You will then meet in 
your chosen machine at your chosen battlefield ready for intense 
head to head battle.

-- Modem Initialization Strings --
==========================================
TECHNICAL NOTE: Certain modems may not want to work properly with 
NetMech DEMO. Here is a list of initialization strings that may 
help you to get the Modem portion of the program working with your 
modem.  There may be several strings in this list for your modem, 
so if one does not work, try another.
