In keeping with the streamlining, all attachments from the 2007 calendar year were removed. This freed up about 2.1 megs of attachable space.

Oh, the backup? Sorry about that. :blush:

:edit:

That'll happen every once in a while (getting the backup is an 8-10 meg process, which on dialup takes an hour).

Compression, compression, compression. Ideally, if you get MPPC compression for any of your dialup numbers, you'll be a slightly happier dialup user (you will need software compression enabled though for your dialup connection).

I see no option for software compression, but modem compression is already enabled by default. Believe me, I've tried to squeeze everything out of this connection as I could (even had it connected at 56 a few times) but the stability went out the window. :sad:

It's there. Use this link as reference: http://www.techspot.com/tweaks/winxp_modem/

I suggest unchecking "enable modem compression" as you will connect with modem compression by default if no software compression is enabled. That option forces hardware modem compression. Also, don't enable the "multilink" connection option... if you get lots of errors in your connection with the ISP, this is more often than not the culprit.

Software compression was already enabled, as was hardware compression. This modem is an external, good ol US Robotics v.97. Software compression would not apply here.

Whether or not it actually helps anything (probably won't) remains to be seen.

Well, if MPPC is available for a specific number for your ISP, you can see it in the Connection Properties... 2nd tab.

http://www.air-internet.com/support/optimizemodem/OptimizeModemXP.htm

The pic is wrong  :bah: :lame:, but that's where you'd find out. It's specific to the number you are connecting to, and not an ISP provider specific thing. Usually, the ISP's numbers are provided by various other providers that are outsourcing the stuff. I'm not sure how much you pay for service and what you get.. but if you're paying > $10 for dialup (well, other than the insane phone bill), you're probably being ripped off.

In accordance with recent non-activity, I've added a new smiley to the mix:

I would, except I fail. I had to open up a bunch of the smileys just to make the :bored: smiley. (copy/pasting letters and whatnot). When I saw the letters available for "bored" improvised and did them myself. :happy:

Cool, thanks. I was planning on taking care of it myself, but I kind of forgot about it.
