That's what I'm using..  Well, the Win 98/dos part anyways..
On a Pentium IV 3GHz. The old doom works fine from there in a
DOS Windows, can even use the onboard sound and (part hardware)
WinModem, but none of the new distros seem able to to handle it,
nor do they have the option of modem to modem dialing..

I primarily run Win 98 because of reports that Doom won't
work well (crawls) in Win XP Dos type mode due to a lack
of resources.
