FREE DIAL UP ACCELERATOR

What is Slipstream Accelerator?

Slipstream is the latest technology in dial-up compression and acceleration (also known as Hi-speed dialup or broadband dialup). Slipstream Accelerator is a client / server compression technology that works with your 207ME internet connection, allowing you to dramatically increase your web surfing and email speed by 6X or more!  Pages that previously took 30 seconds to load, can now be viewed in less than 7 seconds with an average dial-up modem connection!

Slipstream Accelerator is the next best thing to DSL or cable, and it's free for all 207ME users! Unlike costly and limited-availability broadband solutions, Slipstream Accelerator is:

  • Available anywhere there is a normal telephone line
  • Requires NO new hardware (works with your existing modem)
  • Easy to use - install a small software client on your PC
  • Great low cost alternative to DSL or Cable

How does it work?

Slipstream Accelerator is designed to provide maximum acceleration for the Web sites you visit regularly. So, the more you surf, the faster your favorite pages will load.

Slipstream Accelerator speeds up the delivery of Web pages three ways:

  • Compression. Slipstream Accelerator delivers text and graphics more efficiently, using a proprietary compression technology that significantly reduces the size of Web pages and page elements sent to your browser.
     
  • Caching. Slipstream Accelerator improves upon your browser's caching ability. Slipstream intelligently retains and reuses Web pages and page elements that have previously been sent to your PC. That's why the longer Slipstream Accelerator is in use on your PC, the faster your Web pages will load.
     
  • Persistent Connections. Slipstream Accelerator uses proprietary techniques to carefully manage and optimize the communication between your modem and our network of servers through a persistent connection. This eliminates the time wasted re-establishing and closing TCP/IP connections.
     
How fast is it?

With Slipstream Accelerator, Web pages load an average of 3 to 6 times faster. The more regularly you visit specific Web sites, the better the performance you will receive.

Here is an example of tests we ran with and without Slipstream Accelerator.

Popular Web Sites *Before Slipstream? *With Slipstream How much Faster
with Slipstream?
Ebay 11.65 seconds 2.97 seconds 3.92 X faster!
USA Today 32.43 seconds 3.77 seconds 8.60 X faster!
Mapquest.com 30.56 seconds 5.01 seconds 6.10 X faster!
Monster.com 11.74 seconds 3.04 seconds 3.86 X faster!
CNN 11.68 seconds 2.26 seconds 5.17 X faster!
*Average time calculated based on loading the home page. First time visit to a Web page loads on average 2 times faster. Subsequent visits to the page load, on average, 3 times faster.  


What Gets Accelerated

Most Web content will be accelerated, but there are certain exceptions:

What will be accelerated What will NOT be accelerated
All text - HTML, markup, and JavaScript MP3 files, executables & other compressed files -Streaming media, audio and video files, and zip files
Most graphics & photos - including .jpg and .gif images Files downloaded outside your browser using FTP
Most banner ads - including animated gif images and Macromedia Flash content  
All browser-based web email (The 207ME Webmail, hotmail, yahoo, etc)  
All emails that contain images - even when read in a dedicated email program  

Will Slipstream Accelerator work on my PC?

Slipstream Accelerator has been through rigorous third-party testing to ensure that:

  • It runs on most Microsoft? Windows?-based PC purchased within the last 5 years
  • It does not in any way interfere with other software or applications that you use.
  • The client currently is not compatible with Linux or MAC.

CALL ALERT FEATURES

Requires caller id and call waiting service from phone company.


 Get phone calls when online!

Online Call Alert lets you receive and screen phone calls while you are online. The program uses your V.92 modem and Call Waiting service from your phone company to detect incoming calls. If you have Caller ID on Call Waiting, also called Call Waiting ID or Visual Call Waiting, Online Call Alert will show the caller's name and number, so you can decide if you want to answer the call or ignore it. If your Internet Provider supports Modem-on-Hold you can put internet on hold, take a call and continue browsing after you finish talking.

Unlike other Internet Call Waiting services, Online Call Alert does not transfer your calls anywhere. It uses your modem to get Caller ID information supplied by the phone company. So your privacy is protected and you are in complete control of your calls!

Know who is calling when online and offline!

Online Call Alert uses your modem to identify callers before you answer the phone. You must subscribe to the Caller ID service from your phone company and have a Caller ID capable modem. Online Call Alert shows a balloon with the caller's name and number. The program also announces incoming calls using text-to-speech engine.

You can set a different ringtone for each caller or type of callers. 20 ringtones are included with the program plus you can use any wav file.

Keep a complete history of your incoming calls!

Online Call Alert logs all incoming calls received while you are online and offline. It keeps the date, time, name and phone number of each call. You can view a complete call history or calls received today, this week or this month. You can select what type of calls you want to see - all calls, local calls, long distance calls etc.

Call history is stored in a standard CSV file and can be edited and exported to other programs using Microsoft Excel.

Protect your privacy!

Privacy Manager allows you to configure how Online Call Alert handles incoming calls. For example, you can set Online Call Alert to automatically answer all calls from private (blocked) numbers after the first ring and play a message telling the caller to unblock his/her number.

Online Call Alert can block calls from specific numbers or reject any other type of unwanted calls (blocked number, out of area etc.) by answering and playing selected message. Several useful messages are included with Online Call Alert. You can also record your own wav files and use them with the program.

If you don't want to be bothered by late calls you can set your "quiet time" and Online Call Alert will block all calls during that time. Important numbers can be marked so they ring through anytime.

All Privacy Manager settings including names and numbers are stored in a standard CSV file and can be imported from or exported to other programs using Microsoft Excel.

Zap telemarketing and other unwanted calls!

Online Call Alert can automatically 'zap' telemarketers with a special 'number disconnected' tone. After receiving this tone telemarketer's computer will delete your number from its database. The program can play Federal 'do-not-call' warning forcing telemarketers to remove you from their calling lists - by law!

You can set the program to reject unwanted calls manually or automatically after selected number of rings. If you select to zap the calls manually the program pop-ups a dialog and lets you decide if you want to zap this call or not.
