What
is the Fiberpipe X5Stream Dial Accelerator service? How does it
work?
Fiberpipe offers the Fiberpipe X5Stream Dial Accelerator service
through a partnership with Slipstream Inc. SlipStream accelerates
your Internet access through proprietary text and image compression,
content caching and other network optimizations.
Will
I benefit from using Fiberpipe X5Stream Dial Accelerator service?
If you have a dialup connection you will experience a significant
degree of acceleration.
What types of content does Fiberpipe's X5Stream
Dial Accelerator service speedup?
The Fiberpipe X5Stream Dial Accelerator service significantly speeds
up web page access. To achieve this speedup, proprietary lossless
compression is applied to text, html, xml, javascript and style
sheets. Proprietary image compression is applied to gif images,
jpeg images and Flash content. X5Stream also accelerates email traffic
(POP3 and SMTP)using lossless compression. Fiberpipe's X5Stream
Dial Accelerator service does NOT speedup file downloads (over FTP
or file sharing programs), streaming audio/video and HTTPS (secure
websites). Fiberpipe's X5Stream Dial Accelerator service does NOT
accelerate secure transactions. Secure websites will continue to
work by bypassing the acceleration component.
How
do I use Internet Explorer with Fiberpipe's X5Stream Dial Up Accelerator?
Internet Explorer is automatically configured to use the Fiberpipe
X5Stream Dial Up Accelerator. Use Internet Explorer as you normally
would.
How do I use other browsers with Fiberpipe's
X5Stream Dial Up Accelerator?
Netscape Navigator is automatically configured to use the Fiberpipe
X5Stream Dial Up Accelerator. Use Netscape as you normally would.
For other browsers such as Opera and Mozilla, X5STREAM Dial Up Accelerator
works with any web browser that allows you to specify an HTTP proxy.
You must set the HTTP proxy host to be "127.0.0.1" and
the port number to be the local listening port of the X5Stream Client
(5400 by default). Consult your browser's documentation for information
on how this can be done. Fiberpipe X5Stream does not support Opera
and Mozilla browsers.
Does Fiberpipe X5Stream Dial Up Accelerator speed
up email access?
Yes, X5Stream automatically accelerates your email traffic (POP3
and SMTP) for all popular email clients such as Eudora, Outlook,
Outlook Express and Netscape Mail. Other email clients should work
transparently as well but they are not supported by X5Steam.
