I’m operating Win98 on a Celeron 300 with 64mgs RAM. I’m also using a 56k modem. In order for me to be able to connect to my ISP, I have to unplug the phone (at home) and the fax (at work) because If I don’t, I either cannot connect at all, or I keep getting thrown off every 10 minutes. Is there anything else I can do about this? I’m sick of having to unplug the phone at home - half the time I forget to plug it back in, which means I’m missing out on calls. Can I buy any software or hardware to fix it - or can I demand Telstra give me a better/different connection…? (more…)

I have a Pentium166 with 16mb of ram and I recently replaced my 28kps modem with a 56kps modem. I have noticed no improvement in speeds of uploading or downloading. Have I wasted my money? (more…)
