something seems to be messed up with my PC (win 98). When i dialup is produces sound thats is quite different then the regular dialup sound. Then even though i get connected, it connects me at 12000 bps insted of regular 46000 bps. What's wrong?

It could be the modem script - when it talks to your isp its actually only asking for less of a throuhput than it can handle.
Try resetting the modem, or checking which scripts its running.
I'm on a Mac - so I can't easily direct you to what to do specifically.
But you could Google search on that perhaps?

no, i didn't make any changes to my conf before all this, yeasterday i noticed that things were bit slow, and today i actually checked the speed. Moreover when i go to Control Panel its set to connect at its highest speed.

i'm thinking if it was my ISP then i wouldn't hear the weird sound, woul i? Then again i didn't change anything,so...
Yeah, it's easy to say "get DSL". Let me tell you something: I'm broke! I have
-$3 (yes, it's not 3, it's -3) on my account. So how do u suppose i shoul get it?

its sounds like you have a problem with the flux capacitor, you should try reversing the polarity that outta do it.

the sounds are the 'hand shake' communication between your modem and the ISP modem...so the problem could be at their end too?

I hate to sound like everyone else, but you HAVE to spring for the extra $20-$25 per month. You'll NEVER look back. You are not experiencing the web.

throw your computer it's obvious you don't care about it. all the other computers on your street come out o make fun of yours when your not looking and because they're so fast and you're used to a slow box you'll never notice those others dragging their mouse down the street. your box is depressed and slowly dying on you. unless your ready to invest, let her go.
