My friend and me had yesterday a very strange problem by playing GPL via
modem.
The syss where connecting, but after the message "syncronisation ..." the
modems disconnected. We didnt can do anything! (Connection times about 2
secs)
Please help.

So, create a core.ini file with proper commands, and lower the modems
FIFO buffer to "one-click-from-left" value, and then enjoy the racing
- hopefully.

I never said *I* was the grammar police...!
This is starting to remind me of that Monty Python sketch:
My Aunt, who I live with, had a parrot named "Sixties"...

Sorry, I forgot to include these in my post: :-) ;-) "LOL!" , to denote
that I was joking and don't give a rats rear-end about the original poster's
grammar. And yes, I did read his post (which I understood fine BTW) because I
had the same problem he had and I was getting ready to dispense my knowledge
about the "AssumedModemConnectSpeed" core.ini, but someone else beat me to it.
:-) Okay, I'm done beating that dead horse....:-)

I thought something like that. ;-)
it.
Thanks for the tips anyway. I will go to test it this weekend. Hope it
works.
"beating that dead horse"?
This mens "Ich schlage das tote Pferd". OhOh.
I hope you understood (?) what i mean. Im keeping on writing in my
grammar-english, because what i saw in the post before (the translation from
altavista makes me really sick) ;-))))
