People still play competitive multiplayer Descent I (D1) matches nearly every day. You can download the data files from GoG[0] for under $4. The binary you want is called DXX-Retro[1] which has the latest and greatest multiplayer tweaks and fixes for competitive Descent.
Check out the Descent Champions Ladder[2] if you're interested in heads up 1v1 play. If multiplayer anarchy (like the glory days of Kali) is more your thing, check out the Descent Rangers[3], who play organized multiplayer games nearly every day. The best way to meet up with folks committed to playing multiplayer Descent is to hop on to the Rangers' mumble[4] server and start chatting.
Descent Overload[5] is a modern, fun, updated version of Descent by some of the same creators, but the focus is not on multiplayer, and as a result the experience suffers somewhat.
