Where is this setting in Quake World. I play it from a linux box and have
never noticed it, course that not unusual for me ???

I did have trouble on 2 fronts:-

1/ I need to run "irqtune" to raise my com2 to the highest priority on this
box, as I was getting ppp errors.

2/ I had to set my mru/mtu to 1000, as the 295 settings were causing lag and
screen lockups at times, this was accompanied by an erratic ping result.
The 1000 setting improved things noticably even for my sons linux box which
is ipmasq'd thru mine for Quake World.
