yes if you follow these easy steps
just thought I'd explain to all who'd like to know how I got modem to modem
Half-life going.
You need to have dial-up-server installed (win98 or win95plus). Install
IPX/SPX-, NetBEUI- and TCP/IP-protocols (all of them). Set up file-sharing
for the drive/dir Half-life is in. Start dial-up-server (My computer ->
Dial-up Networking -> Connections -> Dial-up Server). Have your friend
(client) call in on your server (by using a standard dial-up-connection).
Start Half-life. Choose Multiplayer -> LAN Game. Create a game (server).
Have the client (your friend/enemy) join your game.

That's about it. Enjoy,
Andrew

btw: be sure to disable file-sharing for your internet connection (win98
will automatically asks for it), otherwise the whole world'll be able to
fiddle around on your hd.
