Playing HOMM3 over the network in Windows 7

Since it took me a few hours to figure out a way to play the gog.com version HOMM3 over the network in Windows 7, I have posted a blog describing how to do it:

[url=http://agj2.vk.tj/]How to play network multiplayer HOMM3 in Windows 7[/url]

The trick that I do is to use a virtual TCP/IP serial port and then play a "null modem" (direct connect) game of HOMM3.  This trick, alas, only works for 2-player games, and the virtual TCP/IP serial port software is only free for 32-bit Windows 7 users.  

I hope people still playing HOMM3 find this information useful!

(Disclaimer: My blog does have unobtrusive text-only ads to cover the hosting costs for the blog and to give me a tiny bit of pocket change.)
