I've been thinking of picking up FFXI with the money I will no dobut recieve for Christmas. But I need to know, will my 56K modem cut it?

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>There are some other things that won't cut it either, like my GeForce2 and maybe my memory, but I've been planning to upgrade those for a while anyway. However, I can't get around my internet connection. I'd have broadband, but I can't afford it since a group of evil pigfuckers called "Comcast" have a monopoly over here, and want to charge me sixty dollars a month for a thirty dollar service because I don't subscribe to their cable (and even if I did, they'd still charge me some fourty-five bucks).
As such, I'm stuck with 56K, and while I've read that 56K falls under the "minimum requirements", I remember back in the day when I got Unreal Tournament and played it under these "minimum requirements" and found them to be very minimum indeed. Am I going to have lag problems with my 56K connection? Or connection problems? Or were those ingenious Japanese able to optimize the data transfer to the point where I won't have any serious problems with my meager connection?</div>
