Back in my day we used to do that with computer to computer connections over serial ports. Ah good times. Multiplayer used to take a lot of work.
Ahh the good ol’ null-modem.
I forgot that term! I feel like I was usually doing IPX when doing the null modem thing. But my memory is quite foggy on that
I remember when I was in middle school having my friend bring his Mac Color classic over, and connecting it to mine with a null modem so we could play multiplayer Marathon.
The old Xbox to Xbox with no router blew a younger friends mind.
I tried explaining without a LAN DHCP server it sets up default IPs and a crossover connection using using the Simlink lets them sort out communication directly IP to IP.
I started mentioning Auto IPs 169.254.x.x used when you connect direct and want to telnet into something.
But at that point he’s like Its making my brain hurt.
😔 uncultured and no sense of humour smh /lh
IT’S PRIDE MONTH
I meant your husband >.<
