here i am again to clear some things up...
ok first dial was used for gaming, to list some games how about diablo 1/2 warcraft series, starcraft, those all run perfectly fine on 56k (not that it matters now).
and optimised net code will only go so far, the thing that restricts 56k gamers, is the upload (the download isnt soo much of a problem), and no matter how much you optimise the net code, you cant change peopls upload speeds, with how first person shooters are right now, and in the future, more and more information needs to be sent, and 56k just doesnt cut it.
im sorry that greedy corporate pigs stop most rural areas from getting broadband, im sorry that some people cant afford broadband, but life is tough.
so First Person Shooter games are not for 56k users, if you want to play online games, find an alternative, like blizzard titles.

ps. internet in japan and korea has reached 30 megabits per second, for approximately $10 united states dollars. and Europe is working on 100 megabit per second download speeds, usa sucks. $200,000,000USD has been put into fiber optic cables wiring the country, and we are still being jipped.
