HTTP://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_pipelining

No layman terminology available, except "it makes browsing
faster".

For another point of view.

Depending on how paranoid you are and how much you trust Lori
MacVittie, you may want to leave is off. After all, if you
really cared about speed, you'd get BB. Even I - who happily
used a 33.6 modem until a year ago - now have a 1 MB connection
since it was cheaper than 2 phone lines and dial-up. I don't
/need/ it, but a few dollars saved... it came with some
attractive LD discounts etc as well...

<SNIP>

I do not have my old dial-up settings saved anywhere and I can't
remember them. What I /do/ remember is that I once DL'd a "modem
booster" or "modem doctor" program which spent 4 or 5 hrs
connecting to my ISP hundreds of times and finally told me my
modem was working at 98% capacity. Good enough for me. (I had it
all at default settings.)

Go here:

http://www.google.com/search?q=dialu...&hl=en&ie=UTF-
8&sa=N

The very first link probably has the answers to most of your
questions. For specific terms you are not familiar with, use
Wikipedia or just Google. Do NOT spend time or money on
"accelerators" and "boosters" - they do nothing.

If your modem settings have a "default", I would just set
everything to default.

One fairly important thing is the MTU, and that should be set to
the same value your ISP uses.
Call their tech support and ask what the value is. Set it to the
same number.

For a lot of info go here:

http://help.expedient.net/dialup/index.shtml

Good luck, but don't expect much of an improvement. If it works,
it works. If you spend 5 hrs. tweaking EVERYTHING you /may/ get
a 2-10% performance improvement.
