Hi Ed,
Now that I'm home I can tell you my core.ini file. It's for
a cable-modem. BTW: I get around 111ms to 222ms latency
to Tim's and Todd's servers -- The lower the latency the
better.

That's it -- but remember, dialup modems should not use this or
GPL will dial the internet everytime you start the game.
