Does anyone know if Teamspeak works efficiently with a 56k dial up modem, and what other general problems or advantages Teamspeak offers. I'm considering getting "wired", and would appreciate any advice you could pass on. Thanks in advance...Clipper

Hi...
I'm not trying to be a smartie.. but running Teamspeak, along with whatever other game/sim you plan to run with it, is way too much for dial-up. First-person shooters are out of the question,, and even a multi-player FS9 session of more than two players is beyond 56K bandwidth. I've tried it and it's unreliable at best.. laggy to boot.
If it's just you and a friend, it will run "ok", but expect to lose animation on the other planes.
Teamspeak itself is a great, bandwidth-friendly program.. IF there's bandwidth to be had. On a decent DSL or Cable hook-up.. you don't even know it's there, resource-wise.

Thanks a lot for your answer Brett. I'll have to wait for high speed to reach my neck of the woods. Brett I do mp a lot and although a bit laggy at times, for the most part a very satisfying experience. :)

I used to have dial-up, and could fly on IVAO, and have Teamspeak open without any problems at all....
