Did anyone ever play Quake online using a Quake server. If so, do they still operate? |

Last time I checked (a few months ago) there were still plenty of Quake servers around. However, the only real way of finding them would be through a PC program such as Gamespy Arcade. I've also header of a program called All-Seeing-Eye, which may or may not be open source (and so stand some chance of being ported to RISC OS). |

Surely you just need an IP address or something like that don't you to type into the relevant box in the game? |

Yes, but unless you want to be stuck on servers with high pings, or repeatedly fail to connect because you don't have the right map/mod (or the server is full), getting a server spy tool would be a good idea  Of course there are probably a few websites out there with server IP's listed on them. There may even be some status info as well. |

Could check planetQuake.com I suppose.
I'm wondering if the networking part of the game was converted mainly with local networks or modem to modem play in mind. |
