A new YANG v0.90 has been released, and can be downloaded @ http://yang-online.com :

We have added the ability to now play your favorite DOS games online with YANG by creating profiles to add any of your DOS games that you would like to play online by using DOSBox.

The multiplayer types are using the “IPX Network” mode and the “Serial Null-Modem” mode.

The “Serial Null-Modem” mode is useful for games that do not have “IPX Networking” multiplayer mode, like "The Need For Speed" and the DOS version of "The Need For Speed : Special Edition" for example, so you can still play these games if it supports the "SERIAL" option.

Also games that require the use of "NETBIOS" can be played over YANG, like the "Syndicate : American Revolt" expansion and "Magic Carpet" for example, when you specify the location of your "netbios.exe" file inside the YANG setup.

If your DOS game supports in-game/lobby joining for its multiplayer mode, like "Death Rally" and "Command & Conquer" for example, this can also be enabled on your DOS game profile's settings so that players can also join your game when you are already inside the game.

Finally, YANG can also be used as a convenient way for launching single-player DOS games too.

Sounds interesting. Does it work with Diablo in ipx local network mode ?

I had no luck getting that to work at all using similar software earlier.
Diablo is not a DOS game, but requires Windows, so it can't be used with DOSBox.
However Diablo has got a built-in online match-making component from Blizzard called "Battle.net".
I've realized that I've forgotten to inform you about the fact that YANG can also run nativelly on both Linux and Mac OS X, in addition to Windows.

Since the official GOG launchers/installers are only designed for the Windows operating system, also providing the Windows version of DOSBox then, YANG could then be very useful to Linux and Mac users, being a convenient way for launching single-player and multiplayer DOS games along with the Linux or Mac version of DOSBox (you can get the appropriate one @ www.dosbox.com ).

... That would be Diablo II. Diablo I didn't use Battle.net.

I am quite sure Diablo I uses Battle.net since I played a few times via it with a Czech guy. And it was awesome.

Huh, well, if you say so. All I'd ever heard was that it used IPX or other forms of networking.

Wikipedia confirms Diablo was a Windows game. Not sure about the pre-release demo, though, but it probably also was for Windows.

Diablo I has a few different modes for network play, among them Battle.net (it was the first game using the service, Warcraft II Battle.net edition was released later, though the non-b.net edition was earlier), IPX, and serial connection (the latter supported 4 players and the others managed 8), I'm pretty sure it supports LAN TCP/IP as well. Your characters are always stored locally though, so you can use the same character in all modes (use a character editor on your single-player character, get on battle.net, play with the same character online).

Boys, use GameRanger for Diablo.
