A better solution to speeding up your dialup is to use a dialup accelerator like Propel Accelerator. Several of the local ISP's have such a service, e.g. tri-isys, pacific (i think..) although I've heard from Propel that infocom's branded OEM Propel has been disabled for non-payment of the licensing fees. :-) As far as i know only Mozcom is offering a dialup accelerator bundled with prepaid and postpaid accounts for *free* (actually we are the ones absorbing the per-seat licensing). the new Propel 5.0 has much better image compression, even pr0n *cough cough* *product evaluation* is quite acceptable on the 2nd-to-the-maximum compression level. and we're running it on WBEL3 instead of RHEL3 :D so far no problems, it's been a year now... -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
