Nihilistic's Rob Huebner updated his .plan on the occasion of Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption hitting store shelves, and discussing the change from development to support mode. The update includes a quick FAQ of issues they have already addressed, as well as their work on the NOD SDK release and the first patch. Here's a quote on the latter topic:

There's one patch already that's just about finished with Activision's QA process that is just to address the bandwidth used by games hosted on modem servers. Everyone should get the patch (small) when its released because it obviously makes the network protocol more efficient for all users, but its specifically designed to help people hosting on 28.8k or 56k modems.
