So I've downloaded a classic DOS game, Oxyd (a favorite classic). I'm wondering how to run an OxydLink (multiplayer) game between two computers. I've gathered that I need to use the Serial Multiplayer feature, and I saw that someone else (BraveToaster) has managed to do it before. However, I'm still new to the program and not too familiar with the multiplayer commands and I can't tell what I'm doing wrong. Can someone help me out? 😢

Edit: Maybe I should add some details...
I'm running v0.74.
To start the server I'm using the command:
serial1=nullmodem
To connect the client I'm using the command:
serial1=nullmodem server: 192.168.0.210

The debugs then tell me the client is connected, so at this point I should be able to run the game on both instances and initiate a multiplayer game right? Well, instead they just sit idle and attempt the connection until I cancel... I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing wrong... 😕
