No, no, NO!!!

Avoid the Winmodem at all costs!!!

The WinModem, and any Software-based Modem (they ain't real modems), use
_considerable_ horsepower from your processor to _emulate_ a real modem
in software.  IMHO, they suck, but they are cheap to build and bundle,
and that's why it happens.

For heavens sake don't spend _your_ money on one :)

You will get very, very inconsistant performance, from the modem _and_
the game, because they are both fighting for the processor...

By a _real_ modem instead.
