Up until 6 weeks ago, I was running a P166 with a 33.6 internal modem
and had no trouble running on VROC. Of course it was pointless to
host, but I could join and run with little problem. Now I'm using a
PII 400 with a 56K internal, and again, have few problems with
warping, disco's etc. Sure, I'd love to have a cable modem,
but so far, my internal modem is serving me pretty well. So I'd
say it's far from impossible.

I pretty much agree with you, as far as my experiences go. I used to have
an internal, 56k WinModem. I had little problem with it. In fact, having
heard so much about how worthless for online racing WinModems were, I
swapped my Zoom modem, 56k, from my other machine and put it in the one I
normally use. I saw no appreciable difference.
Now-- and the whole point of this post-- I have a Cable Modem. And I can
say this much: they are much better than any 56k modem I've ever had. :)
