Modem And TCP/IP Tips :
Speed that modem up (I found this one posted in a MSN news group by:Peter Foldes).
You can speed up your Modem by a few 1000KBps by setting your Serial port speeds beyond 115,200KBps. But first, see whether the Modem Control Panel applet will let you set the modem port faster than 115,200KBps.

1. Go to the Control Panel from the settings option under the  button.
2. Double-click the Modems icon.
3.Choose your modem from the list and click properties.
4. Drop down the Maximum speed list to determine your current speed setting
If it is not already set at 230,400KBps or if 115,200KBps is your highest option, you can force Windows 95 to use the faster setting.
1. Open the "win.ini" file. To do this, go to the Run command under the , type "win.ini" and click OK. The file should open in a text editor.
2.Scroll down to the [PORTS] section of the "win.ini" file and enter a speed parameter for the port assigned to your modem (usually COM 2).
3. If the modem is installed on COM 2 with a maximum speed of 115,200 KBps, enter the following EXACTLY:"COM2:=230400,n,8,1,p"
4.Close note pad and save the file (click yes).
5. Re-Boot.
"Does this actually work?" you ask. Well, here is what one reply said:
I see everyone is having the success I did by increasing the Com 2 baud rate in the win.ini file as recommended by Peter.
I would recommend monitoring your memory cache hits and CPU load as mine were affected by the baud rate increase. I'm also experiencing dramatically improved performance and increased connection speeds.
MTU Speed
MTU-Speed Pro helps you optimize the throughput and increase the speed of your Internet connection. MTU-Speed writes several values to the Registry which maximize the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) that Windows 95 uses with your modem (This is only for WIN95, WIN98 fixes this problem).
Update (12/27/98): Fine tune your WIN 98 TCP/IP transmission settings.
Windows 98 does a far better job than its predecessor of optimizing TCP/IP transmissions, and it also lets you change the setting without hacking the Registry. By default, all PPP connections at speeds below 128K use an MTU of 576. At higher speeds, Windows 98 uses an MTU of 1,500.
To adjust these settings, open the Network option in Control Panel, select Dial-Up Adapter, and click on the Properties button. Click on the Advanced tab, and select the IP Packet Size entry in the Property list. The Automatic setting shifts MTU size to match the connection speed; choose Large to set MTU size to 1,500, Medium for 1,000, or Small for 576. For all but the most performance-obsessed dial-up users, there's no need for utilities like TweakDun or MTU speed with Windows 98.
