GPL On-Line Connection Requirements

2 posts by 2 people · 12 Feb 1999 - 12 Feb 1999

I really enjoy playing GPL, even if only against the AI opponents, but I'd like to play on-line. How fast a connection is required? It seems that my local phone lines usually handle only about 24000.

Hi Rich! I asked the same question about a week ago... This is what I've got: a 33.6 USR serial modem. I rarely see anything above 26400. I think I saw 28800 ONCE. I tricked out the DUN and modem setting according to Alison's online FAQ http://nh.ultranet.com/~alison/gpl/index.htm and I get online no problem. Jump on VROC, read all of those FAQs and follow their recommendations (Alison does theses too BTW) and look for good and CONSISTENT pings by hitting refesh a few times in a row. If you follow these recommendations, it should go well! Cya on the track! --Dave > I really enjoy playing GPL, even if only against the AI opponents, but I'd > like to play on-line. > How fast a connection is required?
