Hi reboot and all others.
I had more than a few posts over on the (nowonder) forum in regards to my T-clock reporting CPU usage of %40 -60 all the time.
Well reboot told me to heve that winmodem and get a real one. I did , external, and guess what ?
Now with 5 windows and 2 programs open my CPU usage is at %2!!!
resources are at $85 ( after 20 hours on)and i'm a happy camper!
NoIRQ wows ( everybody has his own IRQ and we don't need to share anymore)
In case anyone else wants to try this be carful removing win modem software. US robotics has a uninstal program that works like a charm(WMREGDEL)
Any opinions about Modem booster?

If you insist on a "modem speed boosting" type of software instead of registry hacking, get iSpeed from my modems page.
BTW, you're welcome for the help on "that other" bbs.

I'm not insisting on anything. I probably felt a need for modem booster or ispeed cause of that winmodem.
Since I installed your favorite modem my connection has been 49333 solid. downloads in the 5 to 8 KBps range.
There is an advantage to winmodems though;
Micron makes more money on me!
