I'm playing there (right now, in fact), and haven't had much trouble.
My ping time is 150-200 (64K-ISDN), rarely a packet lost.  It's a
little choppy sometimes, but I attribute that to my mail and news
traffic hogging the line occasionally.  I'm using the X client (Linux)
with -xbm, but no -cache.

This is the first time I've played on a remote server, though, so I
don't know how the performance I'm getting compares to others.
