OT: Accelerators
by VCI Help Desk 14 Apr '03

14 Apr '03

This is slightly off topic but related to dial up in general. Does anyone use or have tried the acceleration services from SlipStream Data (www.slipstreamdata.com) or Fourelle (www.fourelle.com) ? These are acceleration services that require you to put a special server on your network and a client on your PC. The software on the PC acts as a proxy (usually transparent) which communicates with the server to compress web pages and alter image files. Fourelle uses a proprietary protocol called "reliable UDP" to communicate with the server because TCP takes longer. Fourelle can proxy (speed up) all the common internet protocols while SlipStream Data only does HTTP at the moment. Fourelle will have a Mac client available soon whereas SlipStream Data only works on Windows. Both of these can work over dialup, wireless, DSL, cable, etc.. Fourelle actually got started with this as a wireless application. I believe a major hotel chain started using it to compress data being sent to via satellite. Also, something else intriguing. On our network we have a CacheFlow server (known as a client accelerator). After researching these two services I have discovered that the CacheFlow is kinda out of date because there are other accelerators that clean the web pages and images. These accelerators are intelligent because they know where in a web page the white space can be cleaned. They can also reduce the sizes of image files. For example SpeedWise (www.speedwise.com) sells proxy software for Solaris that intelligently removes the white space from web pages, reducing the overall size of the web page. There are similar products or appliances from RedLine, Packeteer, Boostworks and FineGround. I just thought these new ideas were incredible. Fourelle has been around since at least 2001 and I don't know about SlipStream Data. Some of the reviews I read were from 2001 so the products should have been improved. A couple of ISPs using this software are www.madbbs.com, www.gladenet.com , www.net1Plus.com , www.trellis.net Bill Dunn

Routing Problem
by Mahfuz Imran 13 Apr '03

13 Apr '03

Hi,I m using a 3com/usr-tc network management hub. i configured the thing but one problem when a dial in user connects to the server, he cannot browse. I mean he gets the ip from ip pool, gets DNS info but it cannot ping any other machine than itself. The TS's gateway router block is the same as the TS block as well as the ip pool block. From the TS i can ping any real ip. Any suggession? Please... Mahfuz --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - File online, calculators, forms, and more

Has anyone seen this page before? http://www.modemhelp.net/accservs/3com.shtml I thought I had stumbled on something valuable until I reviewed the "Info" link for v42InvalidCommand. Based on the "Info" comments about thev42InvalidCommand I've got a totally screwed up TC chassis. The thing is I don't think it's that simple as what that explanation makes it sound. For instance all of the Session-Timeouts record v42InvalidCommand disconnects and I know the Session-Timeouts are intentionally disconnects by the server. Bill Dunn

RE: [USR-TC] OT: CreateNOID Problem
by Joel - Fox Computers 10 Apr '03

After trying with an External USR Sportster, an Intel Winmodem, Agere chipset, and a connexant chipset, all failing, I again reloaded windows and installed a generic driver assuming that if CreateNOID was going to recognize any modem it had to do that one - but no luck - wouldn't work. I assumed it was my configuration, but it works perfectly on win98 and higher, just fails with a "modem not found" message on Windows 95 (OSR2). I'm going to download your installer and try it - THANKS!

Hmmm.. It's good to hear that it's working for someone. Every test I've done has been on a clean load of Windows. The Windows 95 not finding the modem problem occurs on a brand new windows 95 install with a generic "standard 28800 modem" installed on COM1 (and various others). Didn't have any other apps installed at all to turn off. Since you have a working installer, would you mind sending me a copy of it so I can run it on any of my machines and see the results? Would very much appreciate if possible. Also - maybe you have an older version of CreateNOID? If possible, could you also send the createnoid exe just so I can compare?

OT: CreateNOID Problem
by Joel - Fox Computers 10 Apr '03

10 Apr '03

Having a couple problems with latest version of CreateNOID (I've never used an older one), and since it's been mentioned on this list before, thought I'd ask in case someone else had a solution or could at least let me know if they've had the same problems. #1. Doesn't work at all under Win95. Tested it on various configs with OSR2 and will not install because it won't detect the modem, regardless of what modem is in use on the system - tried different brands, from external USR to generic to PCI Winmodems - all the same result. #2. When it is installed, it does not ever save the password in the Outlook Express mail account. The resulting mail account has the "Save Password" checked, but the password is blank. This one is really killing me - I already had written my own software that would do absolutely everything that CreateNOID does, EXCEPT I couldn't save the Outlook Express password without writing out an .INS file and ShellExecute'ing it. This is the reason I bought CreateNOID and it won't do it. Anyone else have same experience or a solution? - Joel
