IPexpress
IPexpress is another utility that considerably improve your Internet
speed. IPexpress will eliminate the time consuming DNS lookup for getting the IP
addresses for frequently accessed servers. Also, with its Host Blocker feature
will prevent your computer to load
anything from the blocked servers (recommended to be used with advertise and
banner servers). IPexpress holds a local table of DNS-IP addresses and tell your
browser to check that table before asking the DNS at your ISP. Therefore there
is a local search without generating TCP/IP network traffic at all, and your
computer goes DIRECTLY to the server IP address!
(DNS lookups occur whenever you use URL for finding an Internet resource).

If your ISP supports the multilink point-to-point protocol, your best bet for a modem bonder is Diamond Multimedia's SupraSonic II. Its $149 price tag includes the cost of two modems, making it an especially attractive package if you're planning to upgrade your current modem. The kit takes the pain out of setting up dual modems, and in our tests it provided excellent performance overall.
Of the four browser accelerators we tested, we liked Web 3000's NetSonic freeware version 1.02 best. In our informal tests, it learned which pages we visited most often and loaded them noticeably faster. Best of all, it's free.
If your ISP supports only the older point-to-point protocol standard, we think FatPipe Internet Home Software ($49) from Ragula Systems is the top choice. FatPipe is easy to set up, and it loaded our sample home page 67 percent faster than a comparable system using a single modem did.
