As a network programmer, my guess is that Vassal sends extremely little information between clients. All the graphics are client-side. When you move a piece, it should only need to send the object id and coordinates. I would think a 33.6K modem connection would be more than enough. It's memory and CPU that you need a lot of. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Something is new at Yahoo! Groups.
