Gamespy Tunnel for free xbox online

Hey,
Got an xbox, a high speed internet connection and a router? If you do and you have a game that uses system link you can download gamespy arcade and xbox tunnel, which when you plug your xbox into a router can send and receive system link games online. The popular favorite is halo, and sometimes unreal championship. Its great because you CAN play Halo online! Its free too, but has pop-ups.

Isn't it really bandwith intensive though? You can't even play on a 56k and it takes like a 128 Kbps upstream just to play with one other person on Halo.

Yeah i did mention you need a fast connection, It seems to work great on cable though, we play 2 on 2, 3 on 3, and even 2 on 4 or 3 on 4 without trouble, usually if your bandwith is slow you can join a game instead of hosting it.
