A driver is not necessarily the problem. The modem is processor based. Try disabling as many things as possible from running in the startup as possible (or programs running in the backround).

before i play the game i stop everything from running in the backgound so i dont think that, that will really be a big problem

Its not the modem, its the system that,s hosting the game. What you are expericing is a high volume of traffic within the game (a lot of users logged onto the same game).

the game is made for lots of users at once becuase it runs on a t1 or the fast line availible

You probably have an internal modem, many of which are "Winmodems". These modems rely very heavily on your CPU to operate. You might want to try calling the company (Conexant?) directly and asking them to email you a copy of the latest drivers foryour model.

A fix for this potential problem would be to buy an external modem, or at least an internal that is specifically not a winmodem.

Fellow gamer:

Remember this. Tons of other modem users are connecting, thru the same port that you are. Lots of traffic, increased latency per user. Also, pendent upon the number of hops your system takes between your modem and the final destination point of the server itself will cut down on the in-game experience. Connecting to the server is one thing, but when it starts sending mass amounts of requests and receipts, you will slow down dramatically.

You can try one of the "internet accelerators", but I have had no luck so far.

Keep fraggin'...

Don't you just love that game.

I'd recommend scarping the conexant modem, and picking up an internal Hardware modem. for the price of about ?35 sometimes less it's worth money, + if you want really low pings goto http://www.gamesinferno.com and get their dial-up details and then connect to a gamesinferno server (theres about 30)
good luck
