Net-Tamer handles all of the common Internet protocols, according to
its author, Dave Colston. I've used the XT version of Net-Tamer
successfully with PC DOS 3.3 and a USR Courier HST modem from 1989
(external modem, which does not go beyond 9600 kbps when in non-
priority mode) on my IBM PC/XT running at 4.77 MHz. The modem
indicates that it connects at 2400, but Net-Tamer reports that it
achieves an average of, perhaps, 400 CPS, which includes both
mail upload/download and website access rates.
Of course, this version of Net-Tamer is non-graphical, and you have
to be contented with less than high speed performance when downloading
website material. Nonetheless, it's an excellent example of SURVPC
utility and limited resources functioning at their best.
