Hamachi Networks

[NihilisticCow]

Why would it be any different in the game itself? From what I understand all Gamespy does is the lobby and connecting people to available games, all the in game stuff would be handled by the game itself? It wasn't unusual for me to get a message saying I was disconnected from Gamespy in RTW while actually playing a game, but it never effected the game in progress.

Hamachi might be something to use in an "emergency" when you have to play a game, but normally surely you'd probably prefer to actually getting a game in Gamespy instead of just hanging around hoping one of the other 3 people who use it log on.

I agree with cow, it will be impossible to gain enough awareness of this for it to actually be effective. Gamespy is just a lobby feature, it doesn't have anything to do with lag.

No, hamachi is very effective alternative to Gamespy... you just need to be in enough networks.
