Don't they have an ini file or so you can edit? Might be important to know if they even work with a custom port. Adding something like this would be fruitless otherwise Quake doesn't have a phonebook. The Need for Speed: SE does but it's stored in binary so it's not easily editable. Might be …

What game needs this? Doom setup program only allows 11 characters which is not enough for IP. Granted, you can bypass this by running SERSETUP directly but it's still somewhat annoying.

Writing it down here in case somone's searching because there are only 2 results in Google about this message. Original NFS2 only supports IPX protocol (which is bizarre because NFS1SE does support TCP). NFS2SE doesn't have TCP support out of the box either but it got an official patch that adds it: …
