Presto Change-O
If RegEdit can't find a MaxMTU setting--or if you feel at all confused--don't worry. You can download one of several great MTU prestochange-o utilities in minutes. All of these will make the MTU setting changes for you, and they're available at www.fileworld.com.
The easiest of the programs to use--and the one I recommend--is PPP-Boost (www.c3sys.demon.co.uk). It's free, and the interface takes no special skill to use. If you want to do some extra tweaking, try Mike Sutherland's $10 MTU-Speed Pro 4.10 (ws4.u-net.net/~mjs/mtuspeed.htm). Finally, for a mere $15, you can try Patterson Design Systems' TweakDUN 2.0 (www.pattersondesigns.com/tweakdun), the only program in this excellent trio that includes built-in help.
The technical details on MTU are available on what I consider the premier MTU site, NetPro NorthWest's Techfile at www.infinisource.com/maxmtu.htm.
Okay, that's the scoop on MTU. Now it's your turn. Tell me your Internet speedup tricks at steve_bass@pcworld.com.
