I have just read the full 3 pages of this topuc. here is my opinion. I think that to let a few 56ers in is ok... just a few with a bad ping could be tolerated, but what i think, is that 56ers create rooms for other 56ers, and play all together! Ok, so it will run a little slowerr than usual, but when i host games i always let a few ppl in with a 56k modem, becuase a few wouldn't hurt the game! Anyway, let me just tell the guy that started this topic that i know what you mean, i had a 56k modemand on multiplayer games, with red alert2 noone would let me in. Once i got cable, i had been able to get into all games but i do understand your testimony. I agree totally with your point and ppl should let in a few 56ers in games.
