with 56k modems you can not connect any higher than 33.6 modem to modem
quake via a modem will be very slow 
try shutting down any unneccessary background programs
assigning more ram to quake

could be a firewall blocking quake I can't remember the ports quake uses
from memory it;s utp and veries depending on which quake your using (quake
quakeworld)

without knowing the details of how your connecting
what quake your playing dos quake winquake quakeworld
eg dos quake dialing directly, setup a tcp direct dailup conection using
winquake to play etc
