I just installed the xp on my friends computer and to my suprise i was getting dail-up connections at speeds of 45K or so, with 98se i was lucky to get 31K. I didnt really pay attention to it but at my house as well the connection speeds improved for the dial-up. Is this normal? Am i the only one that noticed a difference? Not that i'm complaining. But is it maybe a driver issue?

Win98's default packet settings were optimized for running a lan, not connecting to the internet. A lot of people downloaded utilities that simplified tweaking these settings. XP may have a better default setting for internet connections. I don't know for sure, but it's the first thing that comes to my mind.
