Hi all,

Ok, let me start by saying I've read Alison's FAQs. But...

Does anyone play online (VROC) SUCESSFULLY with a serial (external)
modem? I have a crappy internal Win modem now... I know what bad things
it does, so I won't use it for GPL, and that's why I haven't been on
VROC yet.

But I do also have a 33.6 external... will this be adequate for GPL if
"buffed out" using all of Alison's modem settings?? (BTW, the rest of my
system is a 233 MMX oc'ed to 261, 8MB Thriller, 96 MB RAM... I don't
have any problems with turning down detail to get playability).

Thanks in advance,
Dave

No problemo. I've used a Zoom V.90 external for all of my VROC
racing (since it went up). And I have it set for V.34 (<=33.6K) for
maximum connection quality. It may not be very good for hosting, but
a serial modem is fine for joining races.

nothing to be frightened of, and no limit, any fool could get into
a motor car and racing would not exist as a sport." -- Jim Clark

I've got the 33.6 installed now, just have to muck with the settings a
bit... it will be VROC time this weekend!

See ya Ben,
