I tried to set up a multiplayer game of Imperialism 2 using Windows 95
Direct Cable Connection. Both computers had SPX installed and bound to
dial-up networking. This configuration has worked well with other
DirectPlay games. However, we were not able to get it to work with
Imperialism 2. There might be something wrong with my configuration.
However, I wanted to know whether the game would work over SPX first. If
somebody has played Imperialism 2 over SPX, please let me know.

I believe it should but I'll confirm that tomorrow when I can talk to my
lead tester, and the programmer. But one possible problem to check for is
to make sure your frame type is the same for both machines. Imp2 will only
work over a network where all machines in the game are set to the same frame
type, and are on the same subnet.
