Blunted :

There's a good discussion on cooling in the topic below. http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=6057.msg57602#msg57602

I agree it would be that should be the fastest actually possible.At least thats what I have been told .In theory 56K dialup could get 53.3K but you would need to be inside the telco to get that. That is what a SBC tech told me anyway.I am 26600 feet from the telco so I am getting about as good as I can at that distance.The hyperterminal test I posted in a previous topic shows 3 load coils on my line.Just so others with dialup know each load coil slows down data they are for voice quality on your telephone.That doesn't include a reg unit or range extender if you are even further out.DSL data can't go through this equipment.

To find your max latency try

Hi all I missed this one but thought i would go ahead & post. First this is a link to a topic when I was getting some crazy fast speeds for dialup.I no longer get those speeds so I put in 2 tests I did today The one at the mirror is faster even though it is farther away.I use a program called MyVitalAgent to moniter downloads for some reason from testmy's main site in Dallas I get gaps where no data is sent from the mirror I don't that's the reason for the speed difference. http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=1739.msg17434#msg17434 :::..

If you like the NDT test there are several locations& links for the test at the site below. http://e2epi.internet2.edu/ndt/ndt-server-list.html

A good hydraulic press should flatten it well.Or if you can't do that find a street crew & let the roller go over it a few times

For those that use McAfee Stinger for part of your AV arsenal there is a new version out. Version 2.5.6.0

The London Bridge I have for sale is in Lake Havasu City ,Arizona

Of course it could be the picture the government wants us to see & not really Area 51. Unless that concept is too conspiracy theory.

netmasta I waited for the speed window. The results were close to what MyVitalAgent measured .I didn't average the fractional amount with dialup.FF was slightly faster. IE 62 to 68 seconds FF 60 to 63 seconds

VanBuren: edited in my post above but you added settings in the download & latency boxes & I didn't.Artic Wolf would be 33.6K on the DL & I don't know what his latency would be.Anyway I sure don't use RWIN that small for my 56K.The reason I don't is pages load faster with a larger RWIN at least on my OS & connection.I think this might be because the internet is now setup best for broadband & so are the pages being sent.The larger RWIN seems to work better for loading pages now.

This was with my dialup using MyVitalAgent program to time the test.The test did not have its own timer.If I missed the timer you can let me know.Or there is another way you timed the test.I don't know why the size was slightly different but the difference is small. 903.1KB in 1 minute IE 891KB in 1 minute FF

VanBuren : I tried the 1372 in the calculator it showed the receive window settings as 0(zero) which can't be correct.Edit I did this with Enter MTU on the drop down & I didn't put anything in the DL or latency boxes.When I did it with the 56K drop down it did give RWIN settings. ArcticWolf :

I can see the pics but I have to click & DL them to veiw them large enough to read.

I was watching the News that morning .They were interveiwing the doorman at the hotel that was in between the towers.Only one plane had hit the first tower at that time.The doorman & the reporter thought it was a small private jet that had hit the tower.I was watching the news live when the second plane flew into the second tower.I have always wondered if the reporter & doorman left in time before they collapsed.

69 RAT I'm glad I was some help But I'm giving the real credit to you & cak46 .You two worked long & hard on this.I don't blame you for calling it enough.It is too bad the fix wasn't found.

Swimmer the sandra sisoft2005 looked like a good program so I checked it out.Un fortunatly it is for windows 2000 & newer.So it won't help Artic Wolf with 98 or me with ME.btw there is an update if you don't have it.

ArcticWolf Is the change being made in the registry from 1500 to 1400?Or do you use some software that changes the MTU?In cablenut do you have the PMTU discovery set to 0 & size/small /medium/large blank? It could be your ISP limiting to 1400. I can't use the ping function because my ISP blocks ping.But there is a methode for setting the correct MTU for your OS using MSDOS &ping.I used this methode at my old ISP that allowed ping.I did find it sometimes varried I don't know why. At the prompt in MSDOS type ping your ISP -f -l your MTU IT will look like this ping aol.com -f -l 1500 Keep going lower with the MTU until the packets no longer fragment.The l is a small L not a capitol i. You can use any number like 1472 or 576 the highest it can go without fragmenting is your max MTU. The aol.com I used is assuming that is correct for aol if you know the address of your ISP is different use that one.Or the numerical address. Once you have found it use that for your MTU.

Windows doesn't do a very good job of identifying your modem.The best information would be in the control panel modemdiagnosticsmore information highlight your modem (you have to be offline to access this) .System information may tell you some more. then go to the site in the link below.If you will get as many serial numbers off your modem chips as you can find first it will help when you get to the site.If there is software to do the identification I would like to know it too.I did mine manually & went to this site. http://www.modem-help.com/

Heres links to a couple of tests when my dial up was getting better speed.If you are interested http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=1739.msg17434#msg17434 http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=1582.msg16040#msg16040

amc11890 I have dial-up I usually get faster than 30K In theory you can't get above 53K.I used to get faster but that suddenly stopped.My ISP says they don't cap dial-up.I will see if I can find some of my old posts & link you there.I have my OS about as tweked for dial-up as I can.

Supreme1 Have you had your case off recently? If you have it may have some kind of security you need to reset.

Hey Artic Wolf When you tried my settings was this with the registry settings also?If you only did the Cablenut settings it wouldnt work very well.Which MTU worked best for you 576 or 1500? On the test at Broadband reports did it show window scaling enabled? You can try this in your win.ini under [ports]
