  I've played a few games using RW and I've gotta say it kix solid gold ass!
In my experience it takes up only a miniscule amount of bandwith if you use
the "press to talk" option (as the extra data's only going out when you hold
the button down) and it helps when people can only hear the bits you *want*
them to hear :)

  In terms of gameplay, oh boy! I loved the way I could just talk without
having to stop playing and type a message. It really enhances the whole
experience.

  As for the AQ2 station, I've just launched myself headfirst into the world
of AQ2 (as you'll find out from my other post :) but I'd be happy to host a
base station at some point.

  (OK OK I know that was like some phat advert for RW but it does kick some
serious butt! :)
