I put in this for search I kept adding to the search till I had this much in the search: dual 56K dial-up modems shotgun or shotgunning. Even with this I got the message below.I know this subject has been in the forum I just wanted the search to find it. Your query was not specific enough. Try using larger words When I put in only modems it had at least 10 pages. Pages: [1] 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ... 10 So why is just modems more specific to search than dual 56K dial-up modems shotgun or shotgunning?

greg_23805: The dish ground I suggested is just supposed to discharge static electricty off the dish.The transmiter & coax ground don't necessarily do this at least on a "plastic" dish.Also I have read you need to be careful with a DW4000 because it is always "hot" if the transmitter is on.Sounds like you got it working OK .

tdawnaz : I just wanted to post that top ten stats page it seemed to go along with the topic.I didn't want to post my stats with it.I was going to wait for a few more to post so it wouldn't be 2 in a row.But now that you have & a nicer color than I would have used I won't need too.

This is a post by organ shifter that shows some max temps for AMD http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=4988.msg45762#msg45762

You might want to read this for setting your RWIN .You can put whaterver setting you want in cablenut then just save it to registry .& reboot. http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=8555.msg83659#msg83659

I don't have satellite so this might not be the problem at all.I have read something about grounding the dish itself.I think there is a kit for this more or less its a strip of aluminum foil that glues to the dish with a ground wire attached..

We've discussed this before .Every connection is bandwidth.Dial up is part of that.Personally I prefer to post what ever I need to in the forum without being seperated into a dial -up category. If I need help with something I think it will get more response that way.

Pacers Fan: First to get to your virtual memory in ME.Control PanelSystemPerformanceVirtual Memory once there select "Let Windows manage my virtual memory settings" If it is not already set there. Reboot. If it is already there then select disable virtual memory & reboot to safe mode. Once in safe mode Defrag & reboot to safe mode.Then run the through scandisk it may hang or give a warning that it has started 10 times do you want to continue to receive this message select no if you get this message.Let the scandisk complete this takes a long time.If it continues to hang you will probably have to go to Advanced & select free lost file fragments.When it finishes Go back to your Virtual Memory & select "Let Windows manage my virtual memory settings" Reboot to normal.

Heres a link to some tests at Van's mirror http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=5959.0

tdawnaz ; Yes I have dial-up thats all I've evre had .Check out this old post I made not too long after I became a member. Unless you are just messing with me. http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=1660.msg16666#msg16666

Pacers Fan : Could it be your virtual memory.First try letting windows manage it unless you already are.If this doesn't help disable virtual memory & go to safe mode then defrag in safe mode.Then select let windows manage virtual memory again.reboot. If that doesn't help Try a thorough scandisk from safe mode This will take several hours so don't do it if you need your PC soon.

I'm not jealous I just want to figure out how to get my dial-up to that speed.& I don't have free dial-up.The free thats available here limits you to 10 hrs a month.Rom-DOS's speeds do seem to be consistent.

ROM-DOS: I've never tried the Avant I read about it some probably a year ago.I already have IE of course & Fire Fox so I haven't decided to add another browser to my OS but if that iss the reason for your speed I would try it.What happens if you test with IE?

ROM-DOS: I agree with the clean lean system.When you are done testing cablenut post a screen shot of the leaned down one.when you did it without settings in cablenut it probably used the windows defaults.

8 right for me.I got the VGA one right.

ROM-DOS : your speed still looks good there sure is a lot of difference in the 2 cablenut screen shots.Odd that you get good speed both ways.

Thanks VanBuren I understand it better .I need to let the information sink in now. A question why don't you use

fred: I will explain what I can I ask questions on the results myself. running 10s outbound test (client to server) . . . . . 222.46kB/s upload speed running 10s inbound test (server to client) . . . . . . 1.29Mb/s Download speed Client System Details What it detects about your OS Round trip time = 105.56 msec latency for packet to & from the test site. the Packet size = 1460 Bytes your MSS 11 packets retransmitted, 160 duplicate acks received, and 141 SACK blocks received all of these have to do with defragmentation of packets your os can't receive them at the time they are sent so the packet is retransmitted till your os can receive it.The 160 duplicate acks received are part of the notification to the sender that packets weren't received. This connection is receiver limited 8.75% of the time This has to do with your RWIN in your PC. This connection is network limited 91.22% of the time. I not sure about this one but I think it is a combination of network congestion & your connection speed(caps) RFC 1323 Time Stamping: OFF these 2 are set by your Tcp1323Opts yours should be 0 thats RFC 1323 Window Scaling: OFF what the settings show 1 would turn on window scaling,2 would turn on time stamping,3 would turn on both. RFC 2018 Selective Acknowledgment: ON this is sackopts 1 setting ------ Web100 Detailed Analysis ------ Cable modem/DSL/T1 link found. Link set to Full Duplex mode No network congestion discovered. Good network cable(s) found Normal duplex operation found. I think sometimes this detects some of your ISP's equipment thats why it gives strange results. Thats the best I can do.There is a contact email at the test .try that for better explanations.

ROM-DOS :CTS signal: A Clear to Send signal is an RS-232C standard that indicates the modem is ready for transmission. DTE (Data Terminating Equipment): A communications device that is the source or destination of signals on a network. It is typically a terminal or computer. DCE (Data Communications Equipment or Data Circuit-terminating Equipment): A device that establishes, maintains and terminates a session on a network. It may also convert signals for transmission. It is typically the modem. DCD signal: This signal tells the personal computer whether the modem is receiving the carrier from the opposite station DSR signal: This signal tells the personal computer whether the modem is ready for communication. Here are some links the information in them should explain a lot of your modem questions.I can't identify your specific modem from what you posted so some of the AT & S command information may not be 100% correct for your modem but should be in general.Here are the links: http://www.vikingcomponents.com/support/mdrivers/usb_atcmnds.pdf http://wwwp.intel.com/support/peripherals/xc/modems/56k/cc/sb/cs-021012.htm http://modemhelp.net/basicatcommand.shtml http://www.zoltrix.com/PUBLIC/MODEM/ATmanual/ATHSP56.HTM http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/v90_56k_modem_ug_20021031.pdf These are port com speeds probably set in your modem connect speed pulldown. 115200,8,N,1, ctsfl=1, rtsctl=2 921600,8,N,1, ctsfl=1, rtsctl=2 StartRuntype win.ini

organ_shifter : Thanks they all looked good I put some of them in my pictures.resopalrabotnick should be able to use one of the smaller ones for an avatar.All I have is MSpaint & IfranVeiw.I can do some things with them but I never figured out how to shrink a .gif with IfranVeiw.

resopalrabotnick :You can copy it if you want to I got it from a site a long time ago that said it was ok to use their animated gif's.I used it as my sig before I got the one I use now. If you know how the change the size it would work as an animated avatar but it is too big to work like it is.Right now it is 160 X 160 I think the max avatar size is 100 X 100 but before you go to the trouble to make it smaller you need to find out what the max size of an avatar is now.I don't know how to make a .gif smaller so I can't help you with that .I would like to know how but it probably requires photoshop or something like that & I don't do enough stuff like that to spend the money on the software.I did try to shrink a similar one I could get all the images separated & sized down but couldn't figure out how to put them back together.But sure use it if you can.

Then you should like this.

QoiZ : what you are using is called shotgunning isn't it.Good speed my average is what I posted above .My upload is slow on the testmy test so I didn't bother to post it.On the Speakeasy test it usually shows too fast I'll go do that & post it.I 'm on a single dial-up line at 26600 ft from the telco.A member with dial-up ROM-DOS has poste some really fast speeds lately.
