Dialup Connection Tweaking...
What are some good ways to tweak my dialup connection under win2k? I use internet connection sharing, so as long as it doesn't effect that, then I'll be happy =) I am using a USR 56k V. 90 modem. Does messing with your MTU settings etc really make much of a difference? Any info would be appreciated!.

Lotus,
You can try changing your MTU size, but with a V.90 modem your not going to see much of a difference. There are plenty of Microsoft KB articles about the TCP/IP stack that you can check as well.
There are only two tips I can think of:
(1) Make sure you have a good cables between your PC -> Modem and from your Modem -> Telephone socket.
(2) Tweak the following registry settings:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Serial]
"ForceFifoEnable"=dword:00000001
"RxFIFO"=dword:0000000c
"TxFIFO"=dword:00000010
"PermitShare"=dword:00000001
"LogFifo"=dword:00000001
