It does?  I've got it to run but it's slow to the point of unuseable.
I've even followed the advice in the howto and made it run in a seperate
instance of X which is only 256 color and a low resolution but it was
still like using a mouse which had been bogged in quicksand.
Frustrating because although I've only got a P200 it's an old game and
the howto says it should run on a P75!  Has anyone gotten acceptable
performance from a slow machine like mine?

I *think* I read something about having to change your IPX settings if
you wanted to talk to windows clients but the memory grows foggy at this
point.
