Thanks for the tip.  Here is one for you: I just downloaded and installed
webROCKET from Ascentive. http://www.ascentive.com They claim to double your
effective internet
speed by optimizing internal buffers and allowing for simultaneous two-way
transfers (near as I can tell).  This improvement is supposed to work for
ALL types of connections, from modems to broadband.

Well, it works for me.  It has almost doubled my throughput.  In a straight
"speed test", my dual-channel ISDN went from averaging 86kB/s to 113kB/s.
Apparant speed has easily doubled since that involves all of the handshaking
needed for loading web pages and reacting to user inputs.

Cost: about $35.  Well worth it so far and no side effects.

Ron
