Since I've given up on big corporate ISPs like NetZero and Juno, etc. I've been using a very common accelerator which goes under many names such as 1Dial, Fastlane, Nitro, GoFastDialup, etc. I've never had problems with it/them until recently when slipcore.exe regularly has to close with the familiar Windows XP window asking if I want to report the problem. This may be related to one of my IDE ports going bad on my motherboard since the problem started happening about then. Anyway, the only way to get the accelerator working again is to reboot the computer.

Short of replacing my motherboard which I will do eventually, I am trying to find a different proxy accelerator besides slipcore.exe to see if I can get around having to reboot my computer so often. But I have yet to find one that isn't just another branded version of the same application. Can anyone point me towards some proxy accelerators that are from different developers?

Thanks,
Peter
