I don't know a hell of a lot about ISDN etc or even how a modem works to be honest. I
was just thinking that our modems must struggle to be trying to simutaneously send and
recieve data and that the sent data would be stalling incoming data and v.v.
    I hear that ISDN (64 or 128k) needs 2 lines - one for incoming and another for
outgoing. Would this situation alone enable smoother gameplay over the net apart from the
fact that it's simply quicker?
