[QUOTE="HeffeD, post: 51374, member: 61"] How exactly is this supposed to speed up your internet connection? Neither a dial-up modem, nor a network adapter (Ethernet) uses a COM port. (Although most modem cards can emulate a COM port for legacy applications/hardware) I guess maybe if you are using a laptop with an older USB dongle type modem, it may institute a virtual COM port, but modern versions have full USB support (IRQ conflicts are a thing of the past) and the modem doesn't rely on the outmoded RS-232 spec. Most modern machines don't even have physical COM ports. (Since around 2007) [/QUOTE]
