Is there a version of chess for the Mac that allows people to play across a LAN? Across a modem connection? By connecting the two Macs together with a cable between their printer ports? I just discovered a version of chess that can be played between two people on different workstations, and would be quite surprised if there weren't already such a product for the Mac. -Ted

I won't say too much else, since I recall having signed something or other... but it shouldn't be too much longer. -ken -- ========== ....... ========================================== Ken McLeod :. .: uucp: {trwrb hplabs}!felix!dhw68k!thecloud ========== :::.. ..::: InterNet: thecloud@dhw68k.cts.com //// ==========================================

I believe it was called NetChess (what an original name:-). I have never actually seen it but did however see ads for it. So I know it existed at one time, but have no idea about its current status. +---------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ + + Any thing I say may be taken as + + Leonard Rosenthol + fact, then again you might decide+ + President, LazerWare, inc. + that it really isn't, so you + + + never know, do you?? + + leonardr@uxe.cso.uiuc.edu + + + GEnie: MACgician + MacNET: MACgician + + Delphi: MACgician + + + + + +---------------------------------+-----------------------------------+

I believe Indeed, I saw an Apple II modem product, on clearance in my B. Dalton's Maybe it would run under II-in-a-Mac, if it isn't copy-protected. -- - Ralph W.
