Texas Hold'm local network setup.

Lot's of people like to play Texas hold'm. I know where I used to work it was a really big thing. You see quite a few network tv shows about it.  This instructable is not about playing the game. To be honest, I am very bad at it,  This great for a party where every one does not have to sit at the same table. In fact there is a built in sort of irc where everyone can talk via the keyboard to each other..
