Changing that setting won't mess you up. WinXP is supposed to be already be
tweaked for broadband (bigger packets). But, dial-up should have smaller
packets, is what they're saying. You can change it without fear of messing
yourself up.

Hello All,
I have another "have you ever done this?" question for you. I'm a bit scared
of trying these things in case I mess up but anything that can help get Hal
moving will be great!
Thanks for your patience, Lyn

By default, Windows' networking protocols are optimized for LAN-based
communication. If you connect to the Web via a LAN, you're probably fine.
But you're not fine if you use Dial-Up Networking. LANs and the Internet use
different packet sizes, so the resulting packet fragmentation slows you
down. Other default settings may slow you down as well, but all can be fixed
by changing several Registry settings. The freeware application EasyMTU
(available at most download sites) can do it all for you in seconds, and get
your dial-up sessions operating at top speed. If you prefer the hands-on
approach of editing the Registry yourself (as we do), see Winmag.com's .
Anyone with a broadband connection should also make these changes.
