I am dying to try VROC but i dont have a good ISP yet. As of now im on AOL
which is rather poor for online racing as far as i know. If no one objects i
may try racing just to see what its like. If theres serious warping on my end
ill disco and let everyone go on in their race. Just want to know what
everyone thinks before I try with AOL (im getting Roadrunner Cable soon so my
ISP problems will be solved).

I wouldn't bother trying, based on my experience. You'll simply mess up the
race for everyone. Sorry. Wait for a real ISP.

It won't hurt to try a few practice sessions. Just leave before the
race if things look bad. If the other cars jump around a lot, and/or
wink in and out, and you don't feel safe being around them, then they
will more than likely not feel safe driving near you.

Well thanx for the responses. One question i have now is does anyone have any
experiance with NetZero access for VROC. Its a free ISP but supposedly a very
good one. Any comments on how this works...

I disagree. Give it a shot. If you see the other cars winking in and
out a lot, or warping madly, or you get screen flashes and cars nearby
suddenly warp great distances, then wait till you get Roadrunner. If
all seems well, go for it.

BTW, with AOL and also with Roadrunner you may need to use GPL's
Alternate IP Address Lookup. This would go in your core.ini:

[Communications]
alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1

See the GPL 1.0 readme for details.
