Just wondering if anyone has any ideas how to fix an annoying problem. I
dial my mate for a deathmatch game of Quake and once in the game it's fine
except for the fact that all responses from my controls are slow and take a
couple of seconds to effect which is damn annoying.  The settings on his
computer and mine are the same, we are running in 19200 speed via hooked up
14.4 K modems and have same resolution on our computers. Both run Pentiums.
Any idea why response times to my actions are slow?
Cheers

Actually my friend and I have the same problem, which is currently why we
cannot play 2 player deathmatch.  He runs it on a P60 with a 14400, and I
run it on my P90 also with a 14400.  When we hook up it runs fine on my
machine, but he tells me that on his side, it's incredibly choppy and
reaction time is slow.  It's funny because it runs great on his P60 single
player.
