You can leave behind the quake2.exe and the gamex86.dll files since you will not be needing those. Once that is done grab the following: ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/mirrors/idsoftware/quake2/unix/quake2-3.14a-i386-unknown-linux2.0.tar.gz And also this if you want a Capture The Flag server: ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/mirrors/idsoftware/quake2/ctf/q2ctf102.zip Plonk the last bit in a directory called ctf under your quake2 directory. Then read the pretty text files. BTW you can delete the gamex86.dll file out of this too, since again it is a crappy Windows file :) Then read up on configuring the server. Then frag the poor. One last thing, you will need quite a lot of bandwidth to get any decent playability from the server. I guess I am saying, forget the dialup.
