Don't know where your ISDN is, but just based on the theory I think it will
play awful.

If your using both B channels, LIVE should be just fine. You wouldn't want
to be running a server or anything, but it should work ok. Get yourself a
ISDN Router if you don't have one already. When I had ISDN, I had a Toshiba
TR-650 Router. Plug the ISDN line in back, had 2 Telephone Jacks one for
each B channel, and could plug up to 4 computers into it. So you could
Plug your computer and Xbox into it, though I wouldn't use your Computer on
the Internet at the same time. Also Cost can be a factor. When I had
ISDN, I had so many Free Minutes, and that was per B channel, so If I was
using both at once, I was using up double the free minutes. Ping times
are good If I remember, it's been quite a few years now. I still have my
ISDN Router. Sits in the closet.
