I have a Windows XP SP3, Satelite internet, and a dial-up connection. I play an MMORPG "Final Fantasy XI" Herein referred to as FFXI.
FFXI runs much better on Dial-up because it doesn't give me a five second delay from when I tell my character to use an ability and when my character actually uses it, unlike Satelite. But, I would also like to use a program called Ventrilo, but that makes me lag big time on dial-up.

My question is, is there a way to make FFXI use the dial-up connection, and have Ventrilo plus everything else use the Satelite connection?

No there isn't. Windows can only have one active Internet connection at a time, The only way is to switch between the two is to disable one or the other as required.
