It is possible to get a Line Load Balanced connection running on Win9X to a
PM2. The thing to do is set up a SLIP account (not CSLIP) with a static IP
address. Also make sure you don't enable header compression. This will
nearly double the client side download speed. Upload speed is still at the
"one-modem" rate though.
