i just 'downgraded' from my new £10 pcworld softmodem POS to my old supraexpress 56i (internal) that i had 4 years ago in my p100 (16mb edo ram, matrox mystique) and my pings in HL went from 2000 to 175! They really DONT make them like they used to

I also had a diamond supra 56e pro, It is the best modem you can get, I used to get pings of 160 with it.

Satellite is crap for gaming, very high latency.

any1 else have this modem?
It brings a tear to my eye that name. Fantastic modem, pings from around 110~160msOriginally Posted by Gipo
those where the days, playing Q2 KOTS online for hours and hours. Not had so much fun on a computer since.
I remember spending one day just optomising the modem for online play.
diamond.
meh
Any USR external Serial modem, I got one for £9 from the For Sale section on here
Rock solid modems, good connection speed, solid connection (no drop outs due to modem) and as its external uses no CPU time.
Sair uses my old 56E Pro modem too
Tell ya what tho....the Internal PCI version was'nt a full hardware jobba....I had one of those too...
my Dad now has that in HIS PC...when I un installed it and went to the External one my frame rates improved and so did my pings...
There was one finer Modem tho...can't remember its name...
some thing like "V.Everything"....Was it a HAyes one? long flat black thing
