I can do you one better. We emulated IPX over serial so that we could have have 3 players. I can't seem to find any information on the net regarding this, but I know that we managed to get it working somehow. There was some dirty TSR hack that intercepted IPX calls and sent them via serial. One of the PCs (with 2 serial ports) had to act as the "gateway" and run the game first, then the "edge" PCs could connect. Fortunately my best friend had 2 serial ports and a seperate PS2 port for his mouse (although whenever he rage quit both of our PCs hardlocked for some reason). If I recall correctly it only worked with a particular version of the DOOM exe - so we could only play the shareware version (despite having access to the full game). 6 months later we pooled some cash and got NE2000 cards so that we could play properly without dicking around with crazy hacks - I do recall my friend being disappointed that he could no longer crash our PCs and end the game when he lost anymore :)
