Tip about 'Speed Up Dial-Up Networking Initialization'

I have a tip about Speed Up Dial-Up Networking Initialization:

When using a modem to connect to the internet, it's possible to speed it's dialing time by adding an extra value that is generic to all modems. Under Advanced Properties/Extra Features type "S11=20" Adjust this if too fast to "S11=35" You will need to be able to hear your modem dialing to fully appreciate this string.

Hi Chris - Thanks for posting. Generally, S11=50 works for most. Also, adding the letter M and 0 (zero) will, in most cases, kill the modem noise on connect.

It takes approx. 3 seconds for your modem to dial a phone number -everything that 
happens after that is out of your control - data transfer and logon procedures and 
all that.

Do you really think that forcing you modem to dial your  ISP's phone number in 1.5 
seconds instead of 3 seconds is getting you anywhere in life ??

All it does is increase your chances of getting a misdial , especially if you are 
on an older phone network...

Sit back and relax guys ,this isn't a race.......
(or get cable or DSL)

I AM IN CONTRROOOLLLL!  *(@?%@@

Chill out GM --- it's just a tip, nothing more; some folks may not like to listen 
to the modem noise on connect.   

Like vern would say, no comments from the peanuts!
(just kidding)

Yes, That's tru, 3 seconds for a normal modem. But all don't have the money for cable, DSL,T1 or T3 such a tip do not help you to get a faster conection, but conect to the Net in 1.5's. Want to get more speed on a modem try Easy MTU, It helped me.

This feature can be reached by clicking on your modem within your control panel. Highlight the modem you want to use and click Properties, then choosing the Connection tab will show you a window that contains Advanced. Add "S11=25" within the Extra Settings box. (or whatever speed suites you 8-)
