web accelerator for mac?

I see lots of commercials for high speed dialup connections, and my isp offers one now, but it's for pc only.

Is there one out there for macs? If so, will it work with any isp?

How about getting the one available for pc's and running virtual pc?

thanks,

Not sure, my guess it's a generic app and I've seen some for Mac through small ISPs, I've just never cared...

"high speed dialup" is bull...
You know they are compressing images and who knows what else so - yeah a page will load faster, but stuff on it will look like mud.

Does noting for actual file transfers and attachments.

BTW, I don't think it'll work with any ISP, I belive your ISP needs something on their end to support it. Don't quote me tho.

That's somewhat true.

Basically this is what happens.

You send out a ping to connect to a site, you connect to your ISP's servers, their servers repeat the ping to the server of the site you requested to go to. Therefor, the site sends the data to your ISP's server, your ISP's server compresses the Data then sends it to you, then your computer uncompresses it in the process of loading.

Or something like that.
