If using dial up it also will be chnaging daily depended uypon line losses which change again on daily use of phone lines etc with traffic but more so... so in essence unfortuantely is a lost cause to belive any of the hype about"speedups". see Joe has sent you a couple of sites.. check them out and you will see waht I am saying about making registry settings that may help and may not ... a lot of the changes have a range of seetings to use and would need to be gone thru individually to find the right combo,but then,next day is not the same. Even ones for dsl and cable are same way.... have treid all the names and none were to any advantage that couod be seen that made an absolute change in speed due to nothing is done that can change the connection speed of your modem and phone line. What they do is allow more hops to more servers in pursuit of finding more open connections to the site you are atempting to reach. But that in turn increases your bandwidth usage and consequently begins to slow other connections down. A losing battle..... if have it available.. dsl or cable.. or win the lotto and go sattelite chuck... in Ok VIEW ARCHIVES @ //www.freelists.org UNSUBSCRIBE by sending email to triadtechtalk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with unsubscribe in the Subject field.
