How to be a BEM Server

For a COMPORT connection:
   1. Tell the Client the phone number for your modem and how long it
      will take you to get the modem set up (add 1 minute for YAK/BEM).
   2. Double-click on the Overseer object in the Server folder.
   3. Double-click on the Modem object in the Server folder.
   4. Double-click on the Local Player object in the Server folder to start
      your game.
   5. PLAY BEM!!!

For an Internet/LAN TCPIP connection, using the MultiSession Server:
   1. If not on a LAN, start your SLIP connection.
   2. Double-click on the Overseer object in the Server folder.
   3. Double-Click on the Multisession Server, and enter desired port number.
   4. Tell your Clients your Hostname/IP address and the port number
      of the server; these will be the same for every Client.
   5. Double-click on the Local Player object in the Server folder to start
      your game.
   6. PLAY BEM!!!

For a Direct connection (two machines connected by a serial cable):
   1. Double-click on the Overseer object in the Server folder.
   2. Double-click on the Direct-Connect object in the Server folder.
   3. Double-click on the Local Player object in the Server folder to start
      your game.
   4. PLAY BEM!!!

Note for users with more than one Direct or Modem connection:
    It is easy to use multiple modems or multiple direct connections
    to play BEM.  The Server objects are defaulted to display the
    existing window.  To use more than one direct connection or more
    than one modem, simply change the default behavior in the objects'
    settings to "Create new window."
    
Troubleshooting:

Note that YAK is running minimized.  If you receive any communication
errors, go to the window list and CLOSE YAK.
