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).
Faster for Free
Does the modem installed on your PC connect to an ISP that supports the multilink point-to-point protocol? If so, Windows 98's Dial-Up Networking lets you connect and bond a second modem:
1 Install the second modem according to the manufacturer's instructions. (Note: You can work with modems of different models, but installing modems that use identical chip sets yields better results.)
2 Go to Windows 98's My Computer, double-click Dial-Up Networking, right-click the icon for your ISP connection, and select Properties. (If Dial-Up Networking is missing, you may have to reinstall it from your Windows CD-ROM.)
3 From the Multilink tab, click Use additional devices, then click Add. In the Edit Extra Device dialog box, select the device you want to add to the connection, and then click OK.
4 Select Multilink tab again, and pick Use additional devices. At the bottom of the window, choose Add.
5 From the Device Name drop-down list in the Edit Extra Device Dialog Box, select your second modem. Once the ISP phone number appears, click OK.
6 Dial away. You can use the same icon that's located in Dial-Up Networking to access both modems, connecting each sequentially.
