Are there any problems with running ROTT Dark War over a network?

I was thinking of getting it for an upcoming LAN party, but I know many games from this era just don't work over modern networks, so I figured I'd ask.

What should I know before I try to run ROTT over the network?

I believe there are no problems running it over a LAN locally, with as many players as the game supports through DOSBox.

Although I did have trouble if it was across the internet using IPX emulation, so I forced DOSBox to use Serial Cable Emulation and it worked online, but a max of 2-players.

Also this seems to have multiplayer, it's possible that it's working well over the internet, and might also be good for your LAN party - https://www.gog.com/forum/rise_of_the_triad_series/installing_winrottgl_v170
