Hi..NGUYEN Depends what you mean by communicate ie: speaking by voice or by typing commands with your keyboard?. Well you can do both if you like, if you just want to type a message by the way of the keyboard when you have linked up just press and hold the ctrl key and press m it will bring up a box and you can type up to 40 characters, on the other hand if you want to actualy talk to the person over the phone while you are racing you can do that but you must have a modem that supports SVD and also the person you are linking with must also have SVD modem (not sure if they both have to be the same brand but my friend and I have Netcomm ultra SVD'S and it's great fun you only need the one phone line). Beware though Gp2 is slooow over the modem and you have to adjust your driving a tad, the voice part wont slow gp2 down as i think the modem part only runs at 9600 so if you have a 33.6 modem the rest can be used for talking, btw it's great to be able to abuse the other driver as he punts you of the track

Yes, while in any menu screen press ctrl + m and a message box will appear in each pc's screen, and you can type messages to each other. NB, You cannot type messages to each other while racing (who has time anyway?) 8?) * Peter * 8-) Please remove asterix from address to email.

Yes, I think it's Alt-M - but if it isn't, read the manual as it has the code in there. ________ _________________ (_ |_| |____)imon | |armel - SYSOP of Explosion BBS - 01732 773369 ..
