[bf1942] you should all know by now...

[Justin Brown]

I was experiencing the "snap back bug" until I set
game.ServerMaxAllowedConnectionType to CTCable256Kbps (from T1) and the
problem went away.  As we just play conquest the only strangeness I've seen
since then is the rate of fire between the server and client.  It seems to
be significantly out of sync which can really mess you up in a tank or
artillery.
