Figured i connect my dc dialup via phone line to my cable modem phone jack and see what happens. Well i used a free isp number and i was online with quake. Unplayable connection by the way but i think its a matter of finding the right number.
So now its just a matter of getting some dialup games . Needless to say ....q3 will stay ...on bba )))

Re: dialup with comcast triple play cable modem
Unfortunately, you're likely not going to be able to play online with that. It's VOIP which adds too much latency to the connection to be usable for online games (if you can even sustain a connection at all). There was a guy recently that tried the exact same thing and couldn't maintain a decent connection.

I mean you can try it. No harm in doing so I suppose. I've never heard of anyone having success with it though.Mechanic wrote: Thanks for saving me the trouble of finding out myself lol
