Hi all,
Here is a link for IRQ Tune - and I quote fm the web page :
- --Quote--
irqtune changes the IRQ priority of devices to allow devices that
require high priority and fast service (e.g. serial ports, modems) to
have it.
With irqtune, a 3X speedup of serial/modem throughput is possible.
- --Unquote--
Which means faster net connection, downloads etc etc.
While I haven't tried this out myself, users of this program swear by
it. So, in case you are interested :

ps: hmm ok, the Modem speed doesn't increase, its just that the serial
I/O gets higher priority, but I thought "Increase your Modem speed"
would grab more attention and hence more users benefit... :)
