You wont get a performance increase from a different host. Problem is that 56K connection, that wont go away no matter how many people are playing. The person with the 56K will always get worse performance.

Your best option would be to invest in a pair of LAN cards and a crossover cable. That way you can bring your PCs together and take the internet out of the equation.

If your to far apart to do that, upgrade the 56K connection to DSL or Cable.
