The 2 I think of initially are Firepower (which I tried) and Stunt Track (Car) Racer.  Although Stunt requires NULL I believe (not modem), but the Lantronix devices support that also.

There's also games like Populous that support Modem play.

I think there are some flight sims (Fighter Duel (Pro?)) that do as well...
I actually have 2 Lantronix devices and 2 Amigas, so I should be able to test some of them, at least with low latency local connections.

Just have to find the time..  ;-)

And yeah, you can't use the TCPIP stack and WHDLoad together, so you need some type of serial to ethernet device (I assume WHDLoad supports the serial port fine??).

Oh, the Lotus games (2 and 3??) support NULL I believe.
In fact, can't you do 4 player with lotus 3, split screen (2 users per Amiga)??

Thank you for your tips, I can also play serial since I got multiple Amigas so RTS games like Dune might be a good option also, really got to sit down and search trough what games are supported linked and such :)
