Yes and no... Yes: it will "work" as in you can connect, but no it won't work decently. You will lag all over the place.
Your best bet is games with max 8 players. The more players, the more data needs to be sent and received and the more you'll lag.
Moreover, many servers now set a minimum bandwith because people on dialup aren't really "wanted". The reason: your data is being sent too late cause it's in a waiting cue, hence people fall down without you even being near them. So they got a script which sets your bandwith automatically to 128k, so u get too much info, so u loose connection.
Satellite couldn't have been very playable, though? Huge ping?

what a shame
I like the games with 40-50 people in them
na sat wasn't to good
lag normally wasn't a problem though
probably 70-80% of the time it would run smoothly with intermitent pauses
the rest of the time lag would be a real killer
but there was allways a bit of lag though
got used to it would try to never be in a 1 on 1 shoot out
my conection would max out at about 12-130K
I expect land line highspeed to be coming availible early this summer
came avlible all around me last summer and im hoping they will close there gaps this year
guess ill mostly just play Ra2 till then

RA2 online will also lag. Maybe less in a 1v1.

I have plaid Ra2 online with dialup manny times
and normally has no lag at all
I was on a comp 3.2 with 1GB of ram
and I notesed that if the other players had a slower comp then it would run slow
but lag (pausing in and out) was rare
