Theoratically, a normal modem should do the trick, although I suggest a cable (128k/256k) modem or perhaps even a ADSL modem (768k/1024k) if you want to play without lag, that is. Even then, you will still experience lag because of the high server load sometimes.

There\'s no such thing as high server load in PS yet. The lag is caused by poor netcode- something that not even the fastest of broadband connections can stifle.
