Only if the modem on the other end is set to the same COMPRESSION settings.....\n\nThe law limits the bit transfer limit on phone communication in the US to around 48Kb (note lower case 'b'.)  The fact that our dial-up modems can go upto 56Kb is ignored.  This means that in the US your modem can at best transfer 48,000 / 8 or 6KB of info per second.\n\nSome of that is Packet Header and Trailer information, the actual DATA throuput is less....Mine from home is between 4 and 5KB and my modem only connects at 42,000Kb to begin with.\n\nIf you get less that 48,000Kb from your connection and call the phone Co. to complain, they will happily tell you that they are only REQUIRED to provide you with 24,000 and to thank your lucky stars you have more.....nice huh?\n\nThat said there is a way, using data 'compression' to achive greater data throughput on a dial-up connection.  Some smaller ISP's have advertised "up to 5x regular dial-up speeds" for their dial-up customers.  These connections do not require special equipment per se, but they do require a modem that will support the compression type they are using to achieve their throughput claims.\n\nPS:modem means....MOdulator-DEModulator

Unless you really know a lot about programming then there really isn't a whole lot you can do to "boost performance" on dial up. Sorry.

if your ( or their) line is too slow , burn it onto cd and send via post.otherwiese , broadband should do it in an hour or so.

while connected to your isp...\n\nstart>run>type "command" for win9X or "cmd" for others and hit enter. at dos prompt type "ipconfig /all" and hit enter. all the info will be listed.

Absolutely will not work.  Dial up modems are completely different technology than a broadband modem.  You must get a broadband modem.

go to messenger-> preferences and it will be there somewhere, dialup, high speed and lan

about 47 seconds\n\nfor example to download a 5 minute MP3 on dial up would take about 12 minutes, and on broadband it would take about 25 seconds

Hi there,\n\nIf it is a Dial up modem then:\n\n1. Start > Control Panel > Phone and Modem options > Modem Tab > Properties > Modem Tab again > Select 57600 as Port speed since 115200 gives a pseudo connection speed resulting in slow connections. Click OK and close all the windows. Restart your system.\n\n2. Check with your ISP/Telephone company for any AT Strings required.\n\n3. Remove any Fax / Answering machine from the same line.\n\n4. Avoide to use cable more than 2-3mts long.\n\n\nHope this helps...\n\nArash Shirali...

Open the Command Prompt or MS DOS on your pc type ping webite.com for example ping yahoo.com

It shouldnt be possible...\nTry start run type "cmd" enter, black window up and type "ping www.yahoo.com" enter, if time < 100ms, and no request time out you should be fine.\nCheck cable connect to modem, \ninstall anti-virus software and update it to latest, do full system scan.

If it is something like AOL, you'll need the installation CD that came with your package.\nBut, Windows 2000/XP machines do not 'require' software to use the modem, it is a builtin feature. For most dial-up companies, all you really need is the phone number. The rest of it is junk to slow your pc down.\nWith a little bit of patience and a fourth grade reading level, you'll be able to navigate the wizard and setup your own dial-up connection without needing the disk.

dial up is too slow. get yahoo dsl for a couple bucks more than dial up and then you can use any voip plan out there.

VNC will do what you are looking for.  It is simple to setup on Win32 and comes in just about every other OS flavor under the sun.  It can be tuned to work well even at dialup speeds.  There are a few variants out so you do have quite a selection.  Below is one that I have used and can verify that it works well.

8kbps.\nBut, seriously folks...DSL is a dedicated "always-on" connection while dial-up requires that your computer place a phone call and ties up the phone line.  Best bet is to get DSL and hope that your phone company moves a switch closer to your home soon...

If you're using a dial up 56K modem, then you can't.  It's not possible unless you upgrade your service and get a faster modem (most likely external plugged into your USB or ethernet adapter, if you have these).  Some dial-up servers are a bit faster than others, but none will exceed 56K/sec.  Some ISPs may seem to be a bit faster, but this is only because they allow the text to downloaded first, then each image on the current section of the page you're viewing to be downloaded separately rather than everything on the page downloading at the same time.
