I will be trying stunt track soon Well, I just recently got FirePower which only runs at 1200 baud and it's fine. Poor error recovery but so long as you have clean lines it's fun. Old, of course, but fun. You'll be disappointed in Stunt Track. It's a fantastic game but does not support modem play at all. Which is a good idea, really. It needs 9600 baud (or maybe it's 19,200, who knows?) and so it only works through a null-modem cable. Many aspects of the game also are meant for playing with two monitors side-by-side. This is a LOT of fun if you have more than one Amiga or know someone willing to cart their system over... . <<<>>> -- |Ben Scott, professional goof-off and consultant at The Raster Image, Denver| |FIDO point address 1:104/421.2, bscott@nyx.cs.du.edu, or BBS (303)424-9831 | |"Quantum Mechanics: The dreams that || The Raster Image IS responsible for| | stuff is made of..." - Michael Sinz || everything I say! ** Amiga Power**|
