Been at a lan party for the past 4 days... tired very tired... but I kicked butt at starcraft. Well I'm too tired for a real update so all I have to say is: "I need a celerator for my modem."
A 4-day lan party? Wow. I think even I'd get bored after a few days, especially now that I don't game as much as I used to. Why, back in my day, I'd have a buddy over and we'd play Doom until four in the morning, and we'd take turns because we only had the one machine, and we liked it! Then again, I've been wanting to challenge someone to Freeciv for a while now and it can take a week to get through a single game of that.
I don't know what a modem celerator is (accelerator?), but compression on those things is about as good as they're going to get it without changing the hardware. I don't think modem tech has even advanced from 56.6 in the past ten years. Your best bet would be to hold the next party at a place with broadband and NAT your way onto the Internet.
It's a joke from a story that a guy at the lan party told working in a computer story. I cannot do it right without the voice but what the people wanted was a 3D accelerator for there computer...
