yes, go to http://teamxlink.co.uk/index.php go to downloads seccion, and download the client for your OS, and make an account, this is actually better than xbox connect.
now yes you can join games via crossover, to dial modem, but i must warn you that if you host games, only allow 3 ppl max, due to lag issues, and if you join games with too many ppl, you'll lag like hell and f#&@ up their game. **you've been warned*
good luck, and don't ask how to set up the crossoever, i haven't done it O_o

I doubt very much the games will run over 56k..
Personally ive never tested but the amount of lag you get with ADSL alone is bad so im guessing dont waste your time.
Get a ADSL/Cable connection before you want to game online.

I don't think there is any point on trying to play online with dial up, your experience will just be shitty and you will most likely be kicked out of most games for lagging up the server.
You can try if you want but your going to get frustrated with the very frequent lag...

maybe you could try and play World Championship Poker or some game like that, but i'm guessing you'll be kicked from most games

Negtive- i dont know what your smokeing nKnave but there is NO WAY in hell XBC would allow you to connect to its servers running a dail-up (trust me- it checks your speed before you get on)
It will give you an error talking about and min. speed rate (i think an ISDN connection) but through dial-up...no.
But if you mean DSL- *which works by means of normal phone line* Then yes- but that isnt dail up now is it?

well ive gotten xbconnect and played many games online here are my result and it didnt give a speed error O>o anyway heres the games and how they ran ok first is 1: Halo 2 it runs but laggy as shyt BUT on 1 on 1 it runs pretty much flawless xD so thats a good thing i guess. 2: Forza Motorsport it ran i figured it would sence u dont ever have to hit each other well much hehe it ran with 3 people in the game. 3: Halo 1 is unplayable sence it has larger packets oh well lol 4:Conkar it worked but only had 2 or 3 people cause it was the only game to try lol 5: i tryed Delta force meh laggy oh well it suxs lol 6: was Star wars battlefront meh it suxs and it lagged i tryed other but forgot what they where anyway it is possible but wish i could get highspeed im sure you all fill my pain x/ maybe someone could play me 1 on 1 on halo somtime? i was thinking about trying Modem Booster i usally don't mess with garbage like that but im desprite oh btw i CAN get this http://www.nctc.com/version_2.0/wildblue/about_wildblue.html high speed isp but i read this http://www.nctc.com/version_2.0/wildblue/questions_and_answers.html#5_6 plus it very exspensive for somthn so crappy =( just think of the way i game its dial up and its horrible im 100 feet away from the normal DSL reach and whats worse is we did have it scheduled to get dsl from them they even sent the disks but called back and told us we was 100 feet away ... sorry for all the mispells and long post im really tired =/ and sad really.

you CAN Play games online with 56k just dandy.
the main thing is you need a GOOD ping. generally for DSL/cable your ping to your ISP is about 50-100ms on a 56k it is 100-400ms.
bandwith is NOT an issue with many xbox games and halo2 being one of them!
i have played online (xblive) with a 26.4k connection speed! and a ping of 120ms to my ISP. i played with 4 people, me being NON-host and lag free. my ping was 3yellow - 4green.
halo2 onlyl uses about 2kbs upload and 1.2kbs download (per a person)

viper you have 56k on xbox live or using xb connect cause with xbconnect more than 1 on 1 makes the game lag bad >.< does xbx live run better? does voice chat work for you? lol cause when im on it i can hear plp

voice chat uses about .8kbs upload. it worked just fine.
when all 3 people talked i downloaded around 3.5kbs
i have used it with satilite and the ping is much too high.....
even though i had upload and donwload of 80/20kbs

you should be able to play a 1:1 with dial up.
you just need a good ping and a steady connection.
most people who have 56k have tons of programs running sucking what little bandwith they have.
and i did some tests. seems as host you need 2kbs upload per a person. ubut that number changes a bit based on that map... i would say 1.5-3.5kbs depending on the map...
