Eh, I'd say the majority of people who are the potential target
audience have at least some form of DSL/Cable. Things change in 10
years, you know - I honestly don't think dial-up users are of much
concern to anyone making multiplayer games in this day and age. If it
works on dial-up, well, good for them, but it should be optimized for
mainstream connections and not the lowest common demeanor - Which, in
this day and age, means either low-end DSL or Cable.

Basically the only real reason to stick with dial-up these days is if
you're living so out in the boonies that it is your only option due to
technical constraints.
