Strange modem racing stuff

While racing via modem, my machine is the slave, I've seen a laundry list of wierd things. They are, in no particular order and no particular track .... - beginning the pace lap, inside the pole sitter's car, when I should be at the back; - the field is all strung out on a restart, not bunched up as it should; - individual cars or the whole field disappears for an instant or as long as a whole lap; - my car is sitting in my pit stall when I pit; - a car will be parked at the S/F line every lap; - the list of drivers is all wacky (Marcis is in the 17, Hillen is in the 3, etc.) - current lap stats are screwey; - in standings, the car I drive is hilighted, but it tracks another car in the race; - I'm sure there are more, but these come to mind and happen frequently. Stats are: latency - .11; 9600 baud; full field; AI updates installed; disk in CD; SVGA; P100slave, P166 host. Any of this sound familiar or close to your findings. It's so bad, that we're not even gonna attempt a season until this stuff is cleared up. Patience, right? Mitch Warren
