ISP Information:
PNG is an image format that uses lossless compression, similar to the GIF format. How the PNG format differs, however, is that the GIF format involves licensing the LZH compression standard from Unisys, whereas PNG is a public domain format that was designed to replace GIFs. Support for PNG is currently included in the current versions of almost all modern browsers.
ISP Glossary:
PNG - I hope John Navas is watching. ;-)I have to ask, what is the story with this fellow? (I'm new Isuppose). I'd expect a best rate of 115200bps, ie a speed limited only by your port rate.What confuses me is that compressed files download noticably faster,but uncompressed seem to download slower. Really strange (at leastfrom my viewpoint).Web Browsing is noticably snappier. Downloading binaries is also much moreconsistent/fast.I've decided I prefer the Courier because it does (even according tomy wife), browse the internet faster. It also downloads compressedfiles admirably.I was just curious about it's newsgroup header performance. This modem(the Courier) I had working it 3 minutes with an old Redhat 6.1install, where I could never figure out the Lucent one. . . (even withdrivers from Agere). . . Assuming both modems connect with V.42/V.42bis I can't see why there would be this discrepancy. Would it have something to do with dictionary size???Yes, I have checked the logs of both modems, and they both areconnecting with V.42. What is the 'dictionairy' thing you mention?Also, to the other gentleman that suggested that I try 'softwarecompression' instead of hardware compression, you would not be able totalk me through this would you in W2k dial up networking? - Franc Zabkar
