Some sites that store files compressed offer uncompression on-the-fly
(src.doc.ic.ac.uk, for instance).

It may be worthwhile checking out any README files on the specific sites(s)
you use for the possibility of avoiding having to uncompress in the first
place.

Subject: Re: PCTCPAPI.DLL : what is it ?...

PCTCPAPI.DLL is a DLL that comes with the TCP/IP software from FTP Software
Inc. You shouldn't need it unless you are using a software that is written
specifically for FTP Software's stack.

There is a program by Microsoft called wormhole.exe that will do just that.
I found it at ftp.microsoft.com [198.105.232.1] in the /softlib/mslfiles
directory.

Subject: Re: Help  improving winsock performance??

You don't need any external SLIP driver to improve speed, I use Trumpet
Winsock's internal SLIP driver and get 1.5-1.6 Kbps FTP speed over a clean
14.4 Kbps V.32bis connection. Make sure your MTU value (in File Setup) matches
that of your provider; that your serial port has a FIFO UART (such as the NS
16550); and that you are using a communications driver that is capable of high
speed communications (the one that comes with Windows is not -- if you have
WinFAX PRO, you are set already since it replaces Windows' comm. driver with
a better one).

Your list of applications shows that you are essentially running an awful
lot of "network-aware" applications on a "network-ignorant" operating
system ( WINDOWS that is ).

It may be esthetically correct therefore to use a "network-aware" operating
system ( WFW ) to ensure a safer environment.

NOTE: safer here probably means slower since WFW feels slower then WINDOWS but
generally reacts quicker to networky things.

Thats my pennies worth!
