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


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

Steps:

1.  Edit your config.sys file and add these lines:

    DEVICE=C:\QUAKEPPP\ETHDEV.SYS
    DEVICE=C:\QUAKEPPP\TCPIP.SYS 2048

    - You need to replace C:\QUAKEPPP above with whatever directory
      you unzipped QUAKEPPP.ZIP into.


(If you are connecting through The Playing Fields, you can skip STEP 2)

2.  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.

3.  Edit your NET.CFG file. Make sure the COM PORT and BAUD RATE are set.

4.  Reboot your system to load these drivers.



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

Steps:

2. When you get to the PPPMENU main menu:

    - Select TERMINAL MODE
    - Type these commands:
        
        Type in an INIT STRING which disables EC/DC (A DOOM init)
        (AT&F&D2&C1&M0&K0 is a good one)
        ATDTxxx-xxxx (The number of your provider goes here)
                     (For TPF members it is 822-2737)
        
    - Now log in using your PPP name and Password.
      (For TPF members this is your username/ppp and regular 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, type CONNECT xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 
   (Where xxx is replaced by the QUAKE SERVER IP ADDRESS)
