Intructions for using the MODEM GAMELINKBBS:

 -Bare minimum requirements: 486/33, 8 megs memory, 14,400 baud modem 
  and these files. With 3 and four player doom a 486/33 may not be fast enough
  to get into a game. what will happen is a black screen with music only.
   Wait 30 seconds before you try to exit the game as sometimes a 486/33 will
  make it into the game. If you need to exit and try again ,don't hang up , hit ALT_X
  and  at the prompt hit Y for yes. then type SIRDOOM and enter .you should be 
  back on the BBS.

 -Highly recommended: Pentium 60 or better, 8+ megs ram, 28,000 baud 
  modem, 16550 UART chip.


To PLAY DOOM, DOOM 2 or Heretic over MODEM GAMELINK BBS:

-Unzip the file SIRDOOM!.ZIP into its own directoryand type sirdoom

-Run sirdoom.exe and type ALT-C and check all the options to see if they are
  updated and correct!

-After this, save and exit, type "atz" and hit enter, if it doesn't say
  "ok" when you have a problem with your modem, probably set to the wrong 
  com port in your sirdoom.cfg file.<sirdoom.cfg will change by the entrys
  you put in the setup that you opened with alt-c.  
   
-Once it has succesfully initialized hold down the alt key and press 
  "I" (in other words, type alt-I) it should type out an init string 
  to your modem and say "ok", if you have an error, then you need to 
  change your init string, consult your modem manual, the options that 
  you want are DISABLED ERROR CORRECTION and DISABLED DATA CORRECTION 
  baud set to 19.2.

-Once you have succesfully fully initialized the modem you can now 
  press ALT-D <this will open the dialing directory- then alt e this will let
  you enter phone ##'s and baud rates. set this to 19.2 even with a 
  28800 modem. Faster baud rates at this setting seem to cause problems
