Actually, things are worse than I thought:

The latest Half-Life 1.1.1.0 update completely screws even the single
player game part of a fresh install (working perfectly before upgrade!)
of Half-Life on my machine (any renderer), never mind getting near any
multiplayer action!  Have submitted a report to Sierra's tech support,
but doubt anything will come of it.

For what it's worth I have a 333MHz PII, W95 OSR2, an Inno3d TNT,
DirectX8.

(And if I ever do get it working, I found a list of UDP ports which need
to be opened up on the router for multiplayer; not having them set up
might have had something to do with the slow & screwy server list
downloading)

Maybe it'd be easier to get it working on my 2.4GHz Linux-only
machine...
