Getting Prepared - Software

In addition to the hardware requirements, some software is also
required to complete your setup. Before you can play, you'll need
to pick up the following:

* A packet driver. The packet driver is a standardized interface
that lets Kali "talk" to an ethernet card or modem. PPP users can
use Merit's etherppp (ppp.zip) or Klos's PPP driver (pppshare.zip).
SLIP users can use slipper or cslipper (slippr15.zip).

* Kali, the TCP/IP network driver for IPX games.

* Some basic network diagnostic tools, such as a PING and TCPINFO
program. These are not absolutely necessary, but can definitely be
useful for debugging and testing your setup (apps.zip).
