Well, first, I don't know about this voice over network for Quake 2, if it
will implemented or not.  Kinda doubt it.  And for using it with Quake,
technically it is possible.  But, you would need a potent processor, p166
at least, since multitasking software like Win95 basically switches the CPU
back and forth between the progs being run instead of doing it all at once.
 And you would need some hefty bandwidth.  A 56k (hehe) modem probably
still wouldn't be enough if you wanted to do a full duplex (two people
talking at once), let alone 32 people talking.  Talk about a dedicated T1. 
And, since I heard that since the code in Q2 has been tweaked,
theoretically, you will be able to have as many as 200 people on one server
(see it when it happens).  So, in other words, don't hold your breath.
