You can get better pings (MTU), you can get better control (dial up1.2),
4 pages of modem strings, tweak your mouse or joystick, all from the
fundamentals.

What the hell are you talkin about?  MTU Speed doesn't increase the speed
of your connection.  All that MTU Speed does is change the default MTU to
what most ISP's are set to.  What this does is change the packet
transmission size so that you do not have as much packet loss.  I believe
this prog changes it from around 1148 to 574, smaller packets, less time to
transmit lost packets.  And not as easy to lose smaller packets.

So? That in itself makes it faster. Less packet loss, faster game play.
