cholla ~ this is all I have in my system.ini file for XP;
; for 16-bit app support
[drivers]
wave=mmdrv.dll
timer=timer.drv
[mci]
[driver32]
[boot]
[386enh]
woafont=dosapp.FON
EGA80WOA.FON=EGA80WOA.FON
EGA40WOA.FON=EGA40WOA.FON
CGA80WOA.FON=CGA80WOA.FON
CGA40WOA.FON=CGA40WOA.FON

I think it is only used for start-up and/or backward support.

ROM-DOS; Can you get the system.ini notepad in XP by Start\Run type in "system.ini"  then hit OK?
Same for win.ini.
I just wondered if this worked for XP?
I could post my system.ini file but it is long.

boywonder;Thanks
on the Com03Irq18buffer=4096 try it COM03IRQ18Buffer=8760
The 8760 comes from 6 X1460 =8760 1460 being my MSS.
You can try 8192 to see if it works better.
Add this line too
COM03IRQ18=115200 or what you use for Maximum speed in you modem properties.
I'm not really just how effective the 16-bit app support is with XP but if it decreases performance you can just delete it.

DMN:I read this its indicates that AOL & Compuserve use MTU 1500 in their software.Speedguide Shows it at 1400 so I don't know. The information in the link was all for Windows 95.98 & 98SE.
Do the test at this site .It doesn't give MTU but after the test select "more details" there is a maxmss check what it says add 40 that should be your MTU.Just incase Speedguide is reading your MTU wrong.
http://speedtest.umflint.edu/
btw you need java for the test to work.

 DMN;Your speed looked good on the test.It showed thw your MSS is 1360 so your MTU is 1400.Thats what speedguide's tcpip analyzer found so I guess thats what you have.
DMN if you tried the tweaks to your registry  from earlier in the topic & these didn't change you MTU or MSS then I guess it is being done by Compuserve & probably not much you can do.A call to their tech staff to ask would be the way to know for sure.If it isn't their equipment do you run through a router?
ROM-DOS ;Your MSS is 1460 so your MTUis 1500 but you already knew that.

bw = 35.71 based on packet size = 11Kbits, RTT = 311.85msec, and loss = 1.0E-6
The theoretical network limit is 35.71 Mbps
The transmit buffer (125.0 KByte) limits the application to 3.13 Mbps
Your receive buffer (62.0 KByte) limits the application to 1.57 Mbps
The network based flow control limits the application to 0.71 Mbps

------  Web100 Detailed Analysis  ------
45 Mbps T3/DS3 link found.
Link set to Full Duplex mode
Information: throughput is limited by other network traffic.
Good network cable(s) found
Normal duplex operation found.

Web100 reports the Round trip time = 311.85 msec; the Packet size = 1460 Bytes; and
No packet loss was observed.
This connection is network limited 99.95% of the time.
  Contact your local network administrator to report a network problem

    Web100 reports TCP negotiated the optional Performance Settings to:
RFC 2018 Selective Acknowledgment: ON
RFC 896 Nagle Algorithm: ON
RFC 3168 Explicit Congestion Notification: OFF
