Alright, modem gurus. . .

Hi y'all.  Been lurking here awhile.  My problem lately is that after I
connect online with N3, my pings are low, and my quality is good.  After
I join a race, however, everything goes to hell in a handbasket--quality
drops until I am booted from the race.  I have read all the modem
treatises, have all the appropriate stuff shut off, and still this
problem persists.  What gives?  I'm thinking there's something in the
registry. . .

To give you a little background, I raced online in the days of Hawaii,
then when it got really ***ing, quit for offline leagues.  Ran NASS
for about 18 months [or so], then got out altogether.  Also, I'd give my
kingdom [lowly as it may be] for an OS that would allow you to specify
your own init strings, etc., instead of running what Bill Gates thinks
"is best for you".  [as an aside, running N1 on OS/2 Warp was sweet!]

I'm planning on getting DSL before the end of the year, so most of my
woes will be replaced with new ones.  In the meantime, any suggestions?
Thanks!
