I used to use Dial Up Accellerator Plus (DAP) to almost quadruple my
download speeds, as well as giving me the capability to interrupt
downloads and continue them later -- so, at 28.8 I used to start the big
download (eg. a CD image) then minimize DAP and go on with all my other
activities (whether online or off) and if I needed the phone line, I
just stop the DL, use it,(or hang up to go out) and when next I log on I
run DAP again to continue where it left off. . . (it would even
rescue/save files that were interrupted by the intercom breaking through
the dial-up connection (back before I got a 2nd line just for internet!)

I have the freeware edition of DAP 5.0 -- if you want it, email me at
gpope{at}shaw.ca :)
