The one reason that I doubt that the modem is eating up the resources is that the time I saw the ships moving very fast the modem was running at that time. So there is a connection but I don't think the problem is too many resources used if that was the case why would it speed the ships up?

I just went back and tested it right now. While the modem is running the ships move at lightening speed after I disconnect I bet they will crawl. I have no idea why the speed of the ships is tied into wheither or not my modem is running. So its probably more involved than just the resources and yes my modem is a winmodem. This is the first computer I have bought that has had one of these monstrosities but the price was so good I couldn't pass it up especially to replace my ancient 133. I believe that I am running one of the direct x7.? I forget which was the Last update I ran.
