well, 56k isnt really 56k to begin with, but, if you can more or less sustain a throughput of about 33.3k you shld be ok to JOIN any type of game. you may not, however, be able to HOST anything more than about a 2v2. and that's just a generic, sort of average, type statement. your actual results may vary depending on a lot of factors. but yes, you shld be able to join 4v4's with a 56k. i've never had much trouble with my 56k except in hosting big games.
