DUNE™ 2000 requires a modem that is capable of at least 28800 baud.
To begin a two player modem game, select Multiplayer Game from the Title menu. Then

will initiate the telephone call required to play the modem game. If the other person is going
to call you, select Answer Modem. Assuming that you have the correct communications
settings (using the “Settings” dialog) your modem will wait for your opponent to call. Once
a connection has been established, you will see the “Join Modem Game” dialog. If you are
going to be making the call to your opponent, you should select Dial Modem.You will then
be taken to the “Phone List” dialog.
From the “Phone List” dialog you can dial
numbers manually or add a name and
number into a Phone List to speed up
dialing in the future.

area and enter the number (the number
will be added to the Phone List without a
name). To store a number for future use,
along with name and custom dialing
settings, click on SAVE.

Once the required phone number is in the dial box, either by manual entry or by selection
from the listing window, you should click on “Dial” which will communicate with your
modem and dial the number. Once a connection has been established you will see the “Host
Modem Game” dialog.
