Useful Ideas from the Internet. Speed up your internet
connection by adjusting your computers default Win95 TCP/IP MTU settings. I know, if you
knew what all those acronyms meant you would already have sped up the thingy-ma-jig. Have
no fear. You can use freeware utility to automatically display and change the appropriate
settings for you. See PPP-Boost, available for download from: www.pcworld.com/fileworld or alternatively from www.demonweb.co.uk/c3sys/ppp.htm .. by
the way, if you already have Win98, these settings are already the default settings. Have
fun!
Back in August of this year I setup a rudimentary site, maxpages.com/ssdirect, to demonstrate how to
setup do-it-yourself and free websites on the net. You can gather additional current
