If you bought your computer "pre built" in the past year and haven't replaced the modem yourself, you have a Winmodem. If you have a Winmodem, it isn't suitable in the least for gaming.
Only thing you can try is to knock it down to v34. Less compression means quicker transfer of small packets instead of slower transfer of large packets. Gaming is all transfer of small packets.
Need to know the chipset manufacturer of your modem for strings, though.
If you REALLY wanna solve the problem, go get yourself a Diamond Supra Express, External (serial) or ISA.
Winmodems and gaming generally don't work.
