I currently have a x2 modem...im connecting at 52000, which is good.  When
I try to play quake1 over quakeworld or quake2 over a server....I get
MASSIVE pings.  In excess of 1500 sometimes...its unplayable.  I have even
turned of x2 and connected at 31200 fine...  But when I play still I get
the same prob....can someone help me?
