GPL multi-connection question.

by Rafael Medeiro » Fri, 07 May 1999 04:00:00

Does any body know if a host in a local lan hosting for 6 through the
lan, will be able to host just one more person through the internet on a
56k connection?
Will this modem be able to send all the information of the lan racers to
the online racer or will it be limited for only 4 racers total ,like it
occurs on online racing?
Thanks

Probably get bad warp, highly possible though.

Should work fine with 6 or even more clients. Since only one racer is
using 56k, data for only one client has to be sent through it. I think
two clients on 56k works too, possibly even three or four.

The host will only be able to send out 33kbs of information, and
therefore will only be able to supply the internet client with the same
4 in front + 1 behind information as a normal 33k6 or 56k modem
connection would get. The LAN racers would still see all the other cars
and not be susceptible to the same latency as the internet client.
