Lil it is fine. Personally I don't use the Zone. Download something like FSHost, and setup flights with your friends. It adds a whole new level of fun to the experience.

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Or fly on VATSIM ( http://www.vatsim.net/ ) if you want real ATC's etc.If you just want to play with friends,get FSHost like Ozzy suggested.

On this note... dial-up isn't bad at all, IF you get at least 43K on your connection.

A 56K modem doesn't "force" your ISP to give you that much band-width....even in big cities with BIG ISP servers and the newest computer/modem,, rarely do you get 56K hook-ups. (hold mouse pointer over the connection icon in the systray to check).

As it goes for EVERYTHING else in this whacky-windows-environment, get the latest drivers for your modem, and tweak it through device manager/properties/advanced (Oh heck,,we all know the drill)...

OR if you're brave and knowledgeable,,,go LINUX Wink
