Server settings:

     Set default bytes as high as it can go. This is a server. Duh.

     Set max client bytes to about 5000-10000. 5000 if you have mostly
modem players, 10000 if
     you have lots of isdn and cable players. The byte value is not as
critical as ticks.

     Max Ticks Per Second: THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. The default
value is 35. This is
     WAY too HIGH. Set this down to a range of 10-20 on the server. 15
is ideal. This means a tick
     every 66ms. All but T1+ players will never notice it, and even
then it will be minimal. This
     reduces the network over head  drastically, and cuts packet loss
from approx 80% to near
     ZERO.

     Client settings:

     Default bytes per sec: Set this equal to your modem speed /10.
i.e. 28.8k = 2800, 33.6k =
     3300, 56k = 5500, ISDN 128k = 12000. Most good servers will limit
you anyway.

     Max Ticks Per Second: again, EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. Set this to 1.
YES ONE. I've tested
     settings from 1-100 and this DOES have an influence on the client
side. 1 is the optimum value.
     0 seems to default back to 35. This can even improve your
performance on high tick servers but
     it works best when coupled with a server ticking at about 10-20.
