I've played with the options, but maybe I'm doing something wrong. I do not experience this problem using Graal 3.x, but it's a huge inconvenience, I had to quit GC because of it (note this did not happen on my old PC, I am on a laptop right now.). The modem hardware I use is Agere Systems AC'97. The drivers are all updated. Someone please lend me a hand!

Sounds to me you have severeal issues i can think of, but not knowing all of your details about your PC and connection, here is a quick idea untill i am told about your details.

First it's most likely your graal client, and you have some options checked, or unchecked that you shouldn't.

Press f1 genereal options, click genereal tab:

Ignore toalls- retarded, just keep it checked.
don't save pass- up to you, but i have it unchecked.
use file cache- i have it unchechecked, but if you have it checked, i think it takes logner for graal to load, or vice versa.
use fixed port- i think this is for firewalls, but i would keep it unchecked.
don't use udp- keep it unchecked, it gives you delay +10 sec, but if you can't see anyone move, than check it.
don't load player heads- having this checked will speed you up dramaticly, it doesn't load specific heads that the server people are all wearing have it checked.
Limit nicknames- i suggest having this set to 45-50, and keep it checked.
don't connect levels- keep this checked, unless you play servers like GK and you just spar, and pk i'd keep this checked.

I hope this helped, just post agian if you need further help, i have some other ideas, but for now i want to get your information on your pc and connection.
Hope this helps!
Good Luck!
