Boost up your modem

Complimenting our series of Windows 9x/ME/2000 tweak guides, our latest incarnation is a performance guide for the Communications settings and modem in Windows 98. Of course, the ultimate performance enhancement for a user to utilize is the transition from the standard 56K connection to a high bandwidth connection such as Cable/xDSL, although some of us don't wish to endure the added charges, or simply don't live in close proximity to a cable or xDSL provider. Either way, some of us(including me) are still stuck with the plain old telephone service for our internet connection, and thus we can typically reap the most benefits from tweaking our communications and modem settings. There is a plethora of information online related to this topic, some of which contains contrasting information, and I'm confident that this article will contrast some information you see on the web related to this topic, so if you have definite proof or knowledge that any information you see here is erroneous, please don't hesitate to contact me.
