I agree since your problem is with connection speed and not connection loss. If ZAP is causing a block it's usually complete. AFAIK, it doesn't just slow you down. - --------------8<-------------- In <[EMAIL PROTECTED]">mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Greg Strong [GS] wrote:' GS> With all the services on default install, I would suspect that GS> assumption of WinXP Pro users would be using broad band GS> connection.

You'd have to either research methods of manually optimizing the system for a dialup connection or you could try 'NetTurbo'. NetTurbo optimizes your connection speed by adjusting the OS network settings to better suit your connection type. You can get it here: http://www.netturbo.com/ It's XP compatible although the site doesn't explicitly state this. I asked the developer before I installed it on XP. - -- Allie C Martin \ TB! v1.62/Beta5 & WinXP Pro (SP1) List Moderator / PGP Key - http://pub-key.ac-martin.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.0 (MingW32) - GPGshell v2.55 iD8DBQE9jaeKV8nrYCsHF+IRAuplAKDjs8hgXFUHqd/+2cjT1ptp+hga6QCeNo5m oM9jWe52xyJCnRQoFLDtcYc= =3yKw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
