yep - ultimately all I can recall from it is massive lag, it wasnt designed for 56k connections, or my pc at the time was garbage (or, both)
I ran into the same issues from time to time. I eventually found a server that wasn't overcrowded and even my abysmal 21k dialup connection made the game playable during the early morning hours when most of the servers weren't overloaded.
