Well, we have people buying PM-3s because they handle Quake so WELL!

First time I've heard of this, we run Quake for fun over ours - it CRANKS!
And I've talked to a lot of users doing Quake over PM-3s - V.34, K56flex,
ISDN - you name it, it runs like a dream. Users on the USR-TC list are
pleading with USR to make Quake work as well on the TC as it does on the
PM-3...

So you might say not only have we seen no problem, but 180 degrees the
opposite. Gamers I know think the PM-3 is the best access box on the
market to play Quake over, the lowest latency they've seen and best
throughput. No lockups.
