+To use Netplay you need to pass some parameters to uqm. In future versions
+you should be able to set everything you need to set from within the
+game itself.
+
+--netport1 specifies the port the bottom player will connect to or accept
+    incoming connections on. If this parameter is not specified, 21837 will
+    be used.
+    Your firewall needs to be set up to allow TCP connections from/to
+    the used port.
+--nethost1 specifies the name or ip number of the host to connect to for
+    the bottom player. If this parameter is not specified, UQM will
+    instead accept incoming connections.
+--netport2
+    As --netport1, but for the top player
+--nethost2
+    As --netport2, but for the bottom player
+--netdelay
+    The desired input delay (in frames). A keypress or keyrelease
+    will only take effect after this many frames. The result is that while
+    higher values make your ship to seem to respond more sluggishly,
+    they give the keypress information more time to reach the remote party.
+    If the game stutters, this is because it is waiting for this
+    keypress information to arrive, which is an indication that the
+    input delay is too low.
+    As SuperMelee runs at 24 frames per second, each frame delayed will
+    delay the input by about 42ms.
+    The delay used is the maximum of the desired value for both parties.
+    The default is 0. Values lower than 4 will be hardly noticable
+    in terms of responsiveness.
+    Future versions may automatically decide on the best value to use.
+
+In SuperMelee, there is now an extra control method, "network control".
+If you change the control method to that, and press LEFT, UQM will start
+paying attention to incoming connections or try to establish an outgoing
+connection, depending on the specified parameters. Pressing RIGHT will
+cancel connection attempts or abort an already established connection.
+You'll get a message when a connection has been established. In the mean
+time you can already set up your own team.
+The game won't start until both parties have confirmed the current setup.
+If one player moves away from the 'Battle!' button, both parties need to
+reconfirm.
