QUAKE II ONLINE "SIGN UP NOW!!!"

[Red_Melons]

Well I had a go at A215015.UPC-A.CHELLO.NL tonight - first time I've ever played a network game! But as my ping times were about 300 (56k modem) and everybody else's were about 12, I never saw them coming, and was always dead within seconds :-(

"Maybe buy a faster modem ?!?! "

I have a 56k modem - is it possible to play Quake on-line without broadband? How did players manage way back in the good old 90's?

"I have totally no idea
But you have playing right ?"

No, not really :-( As you know, I have managed to connect to the server and walk around a bit - but everybody else is so fast that I can't really play - my ping times are about 20x everybody else's. I was just wondering if there was some 'trick' to get around this without paying £30 per month for broadband just to play Quake2 ;-)
