 Due to some structural changes, by moving the entire 2097 wiki into its own sub-wiki to make more space for possible other sub-wiki's, I had to make this page to help navigation along. So the main purpose of this page is to introduce people to the sub pages and what information is available, while working as a hub-page for the rest. Due to some structural changes, by moving the entire 2097 wiki into its own sub-wiki to make more space for possible other sub-wiki's, I had to make this page to help navigation along.

By modern terms this would be considered lacking, but at the time it was released this was quite good. But none of these modes are in active use any longer.

- ==== IPX-Tunnel ==== 
- 
-DOSBox have a built in IPX-tunnel software, allowing players to emulate an IPX (LAN) connection over internet/TCP-IP. It's readily available since most players use DOSBox to play the game anyways. There also exist other IPX-tunneling software, and it used to be very popular in the past, in order to play early multiplayer games online. 
- 
-The problems with IPX-Tunnel is that IPX was designed around a LAN with negligible latency, the TCP-IP will try to compensate for this and request resending packages if lost, but the games network-code have no way to deal with lost/slow packages, so the game just slows/freezes down until it gets the package it's supposed to. 
- 
-All that might sound a bit technical, the short version is that playing OMF2097 over IPX-tunnel is VERY slow, even with good connections you can expect it to run slower than the slowest speed setting in the game. But it will never skip a frame or rewind a move.
