redmelons:sorry for killing u so much ;( , anyway how all managed to play in the late 90s , easy...they used ISDN or simmilar or minimum 56k , its fully possible but make sure you have selected 56k in the MENU in quake2 , if thats on broadband then u will have problems seeing us due to packet size of the files u recive...
also so sphinx is a tad slow so when there is like 6 people playing u will get a lag, and a lag means.. you will see an icon in the top left corner and u wont be able to move for a little or longer period of time...
other than that, we might need to run some practice runs when u join us so we could actually test if its a problem or not, let me know when u wanna play ....oh and tell sphinx so he can have the server online

cheers
