Can I play Netrek on my Mac/IBM PC/Amiga?
There is a playable client for PowerMacs only; it’s very raw, but the game play is crisp, although having one button sucks. There is a client for a Macintosh connected to a Unix host over a normal modem connection called “ndb”; it’s slow and not really playable. There is also a client for Macs connected to the net via MacTCP (including SLIP/PPP) but it’s not yet playable, even over ethernet. Read the Netrek FTP List to find these clients. If you are running Linux on your Mac, there are several clients that should work. Read the Software page to find them. If you are running Linux or FreeBSD on your IBM PC, there are clients that will work, although at 14.4K baud they are kinda sluggish. If you have a machine running MS-Windows 3.1 with the Win32s socket library, and your machine is directly connected to the net, there are now clients you can use that are pretty good. SLIP/PPP should also work, but slowly. If you have a machine running Windows 95, the same clients that work for Win 3.1
