Thie file describes how to set up a PPP connection to play MULTIPLAYER
QUAKE over the internet. 


INSTALLATION:
-------------

Steps:

1.  Run INSTALL.EXE

2.  Text-edit your NET.CFG and make sure your comport and baudrate
    are set correctly, also set the "DIAL" command to the phone 
    number of your ISP.

4.  Run BWCUSTOM.EXE, go to SITE CONFIGURATION and enter in these values:
    
    IP address   : 0
    Domain Server: The address of your DNS
    Name Server  : The address of your DNS
    Gateway      : 32 Bits, gateway 0.0.0.0

    The rest of the values you can leave as is.

4.  Reboot your system to load these drivers.



PLAYING A QUAKE GAME:
---------------------

Steps:

1. Run CONNECT.BAT
2. When you get to the PPPMENU main menu:

    - Select CONNECT
    - It should switch you to a terminal mode once connected, log 
      into your isp using your username and password.
    - Now hit ALT-S to begin PPP negotiation.

3. Now you should get back to another menu, select the last option: EXIT
   and answer YES.

4. Now go run QUAKE

5. Once in QUAKE, select MUTLIPLAYER GAME, and then select
   JOIN A RUNNING NETWORK GAME and enter a server address.

6. FRAG ON!



APPLICATIONS
------------

There are dos-based TCPIP applications packaged with QuakePPP. The 
included applications are:

ftp.exe         - For downloading files
finger.exe      - For fingering sites for info
ping.exe        - To find out the speed between you and a server

IRC:

You can connect to IRC through dos, connect to #quake and get the 
latest running quake servers or the latest info. To run irc through 
dos go the the IRC subdirectory under wherever you installed 
QuakePPP and run irc.exe. Read the irc.doc for more info.



GETTING A LIST OF QUAKE SERVERS
-------------------------------

Through quakeppp, you can run finger.exe with the address of 
servers@nuqneh.org and it will return active servers. Another good 
idea is to run irc and join the #quake channel and inquire there as 
to active servers.

You can also get a list of currently active quake servers through 
netscape at http://www.webnetdesign.com !



NOTE TO SERVERS - HOW TO RUN A FAST SERVER
------------------------------------------

Dedicate your server. Be on a T1. And use the following parameters:

+SYS_TICRATE 0.1

This is very important, you can use a parameter anywhere between 0.1 
and 0.5. For example, 0.1 sends 10 packets per second, 0.2 sends 5, 
0.5 sends 2, etc. 0.1 is a good value. This will speed up 
performance for everyone. All dedicated servers should use this 
parameter.


PROBLEMS? SUPPORT? IS THIS SHIT PIRATED?
----------------------------------------

I am not providing support for this. However you can try emailing 
winter@tpf.com and maybe I'll respond. 

I downloaded all of the included drivers off of public sites, the 
kloss drivers are shareware, if you use quakeppp alot register them! 
Why not? I downloaded the B&W drivers off of B&W's public FTP site, 
therefore I assume they are PD, I downloaded the kloss drivers out 
of some other public distrubution, and some of the other .exes
included in quakeppp.zip are little things I wrote that tie the 
sucker together and make it all work. But what do I know? Any of 
this COULD be non-public domain. In that case, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE, 
don't even ask. I didn't make this stuff public, I ain't even 
distributing it. All I did was write this text file and a few of the 
exe's in here. You use it at your own risk, you distribute it at 
your own risk. Enjoy.



CONTRIBUTIONS
-------------

Nah, I don't need any money. Just say "hi" if ya see me in #quake 
and that'll make my day.



THANKS
------

Many many thanks go out to Kildar for extensive help and testing, 
without him there would be no quakeppp version 2.
