Ask Sheepy. I think he's still on 56K.

ISDN or 56k ?

We all played on dial up for years before braodband and it worked for us. So I say give it a bash

Maus still has 56K I believe and plays damn well.

Why thank you, though I must also note that I either play well or am utterly pants - consistency has never been my strong point

I have a cruddy internal 56k modem and I connect via AOL - if I can manage with that setup, your friend should have no problems.

i played on 56k for years till bb came my way last november and it was resonably good so go for it....
