Since it has become quite clear to me that AOL and playing CART PR over Microsoft's *** Zone are not exactly compatible, I'm shopping for a new ISP... If you use the Zone for CART (or any other action games) and have the following ISP's, could you give me your opinions in regard to head-to-head playability? - ATT Worldnet - MCI - Any ISP local to Indianapolis - AOL playing another AOL player (something I've not yet tested but would like to... drop me a line if interested!) Thanks in advance... - Mike. ==================================================== Mike Holthouse - Indianapolis, IN I'm sick of spam!! To e-mail me, remove the "x"... ====================================================

I have Sprint for my ISP... they are great... guarantee that you will always get online or they refund a weeks charge. Its great, and since sprint is 60% of the connections the internet uses, it's fast. It only supports up to 28.8 for now though, but it's a fast 28.8, and it's $20 a month. www.sprint.com

I have KIVA and I usually show good latency when I'm on the Zone. I think KIVA expanded into Indpls. [link lost in import] They are constantly 'upgrading' and when they do you can expect a week of having trouble connecting though!!!! ...OK maybe it's just a couple of days but it feels like a week! ;o) Good Luck, Alan [link lost in import: /~akh/simshop.html]
