I found this instruction on the net and I'm wondering this actually "speeds up" a dial up connection?

I am unable to test out this using my current equipments at the moment but if any Trap17 members out there using dial up connections, could you post your results? Maybe you can use bandwidth test to post your results both upload and download. If possible try using one bandwidth testing place like here http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/

And is this United States only or does it work around the world? I'd be interested to find out the results.

worth a try! though the connection speed could simply be superficial. using the suggested AT&FX fix, it shows in my modem that i am connected at 115.2 Kbps, but using the speedtest above, it gives me 37.8 kilobits per second.



without the AT&FX setting, i am connected at 50.6 Kbps, and the speedtest gives me 41.5 kilobits per second.



still slow speedtest results (well, dialups are slow ), but i will make further tests when i'm online a little later for a longer period of time.

I remember this before somewhere and I don't think anything happens - apart from one thing. Your PC now claims you can connect at 921.6 Kbps or whatever value you specify in MODEM PROPERTIES --> GENERAL --> CONFIGURE --> MAXIMUM SPEED (BPS)

No offence but waste of time in my opinion....

It seems pointless, becuase if you have a 56K modem, just changing a value on the PC isn't going to magically change the hardware of the modem. It may look good, but that's all it does.

Two dial up commands
Dialup Users Double Your Connection Speed

When I attempt to dial up I click Connect on a small window, then a larger window appears again asking me to Connect. Often the small window reappears and I have to click Connect or the page is dead.

lol..that doesn't work. It is just a tweak that will display a high connection speed. The physical limitations of an analog phone line are only so much and the government standards limit it to 56k. There is no "setting" in windows or otherwise that will speed up your connection to that extent. There are some other "tweaks" that you can try on broadband connections, but baseband 56k is pretty much....56k

I think it's a "fix" that simply change the maximum value you can reach.

But of course you can't reach that value.

There are some tricks but there isn't anything magical.
For example there is a software made by a telephone company that force you to download only parts of images: as a result you speed up your connection but get corrupted images

Nothing really cool, just tricks until you get a better connection xD
