Lightning struck my computer and also gor my modem.
I have a new computer with Vista and a new modem.
I have now a Sierra 598U and was wondering if there were any tweaks for the modem and systen to help speeds'
Thanks

So far so good. They usually get my directv receivers at leas twice a year. |

I won't swear to this, but I think under Vista your options are more limited insofar as tweaking. For example, the RWIN size is one of the more critical factors in determining speed, but I don't think Vista allows you to alter this, whereas XP and other systems do.
You might have a look over at »speedguide.net. They have pretty good on-line analysis tools, as does DSLR right here, but RWIN is one of the variables you can't change, I think. I'd like to see some verification or refutation of this from some Vista users

I hated that modem.
M u 727 got broke and the gave me the sierra and it sucked compared to u727 so i went on ebay and payed 60 bucks for a u727 and its defently better a little faster and plays xbox live nicely unlike the 598 |
