That’s nice. I would be curious if this would potentially work over the internet as well, for two remote computers.
There’s this old DOS game from 1996 called M.A.X. (Interplay) I tried to play with other people over the years, trying both Hamachi and Tunggle to connect computers remotely.
We even got IPX to connect once, but for whatever reason the game was running super slow. When the connection dropped after a few minutes (it would never last long) then the game ran at normal speed once again.
Do you have any clues for why that would happen?
Any other recommendation for IPX over Internet besides Hamachi-type things?

I also ran Arachne browser successfully.
