Hiya




I'm in the UK and have been playing Quake on the internet since i got my


copy, but found it a bit disapointing when trying to get a smooth


multiplayer game and has been getting worse since the net is taking the


strain with all the new players trying to get a game of Quake in.



After looking around ive found a direct dial bbs server that has a


multiplayer Quake game going 24.7 and its the best ive ever played, as far


as i know its the only bbs in the UK thats doing it and being i direct


connection its alot smoother. If anyone is interested log on at 0181 900


1266 , and have a word with one of the Sysop's
