I run Wine 0.9.13, and UPD multiplayer works fine for me, using (what I
believe) is the latest version of Starcraft. I have not tested previous
Starcraft versions. IPX can only be used if the game is run as root.
Networking was tested with two existing Wine installs, though I don't
think that should matter.
