Have you tried looking at satellite Internet? Like DirecPC or something? Might be better than dialup...

thats great for surfing but can you imagine his lag as info is sent back and forth via satalite? if I remember correctly from public television doing an artsy bit for the herald of 1984 (new years) they had a french dancer dance a duet with himself via satalite link from the US. they had him dance his piece infront of a large TV screen and bounced that feed off satalights to the us and back to him. It was about a 2 second delay (or gaming terms a 2000 ping.)

I know some people that use sattelite internet and they get great pings in games. I'm thinking of trying it too, because something is really wrong with my internet. Every 2 or 3 minutes, I get lag spikes which end up killing me, because the screen locks for a few seconds saying Connection Interrrupted. Then when it's done I'm on the ground calling for Esteban! It's like this for other games too.

DirecTV has a great internet service by sattelite called DirecWAY.
