Begin3 Title: UDP frame forwarder and compressor Version: 0.3alpha Entered-date: 3JAN98 Description: qw_mp forwards UDP frames from one host to another. Only one port is supported. It is mainly designed to work in conjunction with QuakeWorld as IP forwarder via modem instead of PPP or SLIP. It also compress datastream using gzip's methods. Compression rate is usually 50-40% of original size, so if you connected to your provider at 28800 bps and your "rate" parameter in QuakeWorld was set to "2400" you can safely set it to "5000". It effectively improves gameplay quality. But your provider must have connection to QW Server wide enough. Also I noticed that "rate" "5000" not means 5000 chars-per-second, it is really ~2000 cps. You also can improve pings by disabling of V.42 compression (V.42 must be enabled thus internal qw_mp protocol does not frame checking).
