If anyone is interested in playing MOO2 via dosbox via ipx you can use this site:

https://moo2.thedopefish.com/

just do ipxnet connect moo2.thedopefish.com in dosbox and youll be able to start a server in game.

I imagine this would work for other dos games of that era that used ipx.

havent tried serial or modem or that stuff
