Hey all. This is my first tutorial, so if you have
|
|
any suggestions or anything contact me with the info below.
|
|
|
|
Ok, any sorry saps out there like me who still use
|
|
dial-up?Believe it or not, there's a smidgin of hope for us
|
|
lonly and poor souls. You can actually raise you're
|
|
connection speed to 115kbps from 28kbps or 56kbps!
|
|
|
|
Like most devices, modems have options to set too.
|
|
These configureations are set in whats called Initialization
|
|
commands. Before a modem dials a number to an ISP, it
|
|
checks this command line for any changes in the way it
|
|
performs.Now I'm not gonna pretend like I'm some modem wiz,
|
|
so I'll just skip to the juicy stuff!
|
|
|
|
(This example is for a windows box and a Lucent chipset on
|
|
the modem. Linux and mac users are on their own, but it
|
|
shouldn't be that hard to figure out.)
|
|
|
|
Get to Control Panel. If you use XP, switch to
|
|
classic view. Double click phone and modem options, modems,
|
|
properties,advanced, and click on Extra Initialization
|
|
commands. Now enter AT&FX (try &AX&FX if that command doesn't
|
|
work) and hit ok. Now connect to the internet and notice you
|
|
boost in speed!
|
|
|
|
Ok, now if you want to learn more about all this and probubly
|
|
end up phuking your modem over, go to:
|
|
|
|
http://www.modemhelp.org/sets.html
|
|
|
|
and learn more about the different commands and strings. Even
|
|
if you have broadband, it could be worth dickin around with,
|
|
just to learn more about how modems work.
