There's no reason why this (Click Here) shouldn't work. It is only 2M though so you might want something longer. I cant see how you could link Amiga's in any other way for Gaming....?

I was also thinking about a network for internet/file sharing? Sorry it was a little late! |

Excellent!
Think Turbo Trax has a link as well but not RoadKill :-( |

well considering the basic serial crossover cable is only 3 wires it should be simple to make

Just as a heads-up, classic games do multi(dual) player via serial only. Forget modems and Ethernet (Lan/WWW), it's not made for that.
Possibly a very few commercial titles work with multiplayer over Ethernet, but I doubt it. Agree with CosmicFrog. There's also Vroom I think and Stunt Car Racer / The New Tracks etc for more fun
