Yeager, I've been having beacon and laggy text troubles for 2 weeks to a month now, not the awesome connects that I've usually had since beta day 1 with default modem settings. So I finally tried some different modem settings. Immediatley my beacons and laggy text went away, and gunnery seems to have improved. It's only been a day and a half with the new settings, but they seem to have helped tremendously. The one change that seemed to make the most difference was to uncheck the "compress data" of "Use Error Control" under the connection>advanced tab when configuring my dial up connection(I left the Use Error Control checked however, just not defined I guess). I also have this particular dial up set to 19200 max speed. Changing the "buffers" to minimum under the connection>port settings didn't seem to make much difference however so I've left them at the default settings.
