Dial up eh? That sounds like fun So even with a 56K V.92 modem your

users will only have a max theoretical upstream bandwidth of 33.6Kbits/s.

Thats without adding in any overhead and without knowing what the loss is

from your customers computer through some old copper lines all the way to

the modem bank.

Anyway I think I'd try setting my webPub.fps really low, like 5 fps and

setting webPub.camera.setQuality(insert your lowBW number here, 0). Then

I'd set my audioPub.microphoneManager.encodeQuality to a 2 or a 3 (thats

7.75k and 9.80k respectively).

We dynamically downgrade our connection, but you may want to just have a

setting for your modem users since they'll always be at low bandwidth.

Here's an article about what we do, which may not be relevant to you but the

downloadable code has a sample vchat client that graphs all of your

bandwidth usage and loss metrics. If you had your own modem connection you

could use it in the lab to test out different settings and find out what

works best for you.
