Dial-Up Modem Questions

1) I have a USR 56K v.92 Modem. I've noticed that it speed really
slows if it has been on for more than an hour. A quick
disconnect-reconnect seems to improve speed temporarily for example and
then it slows down again after a bit. The modem is hot to the touch so
I'm wondering if it is a heat issue. Has anyone had any similar
experience? Is there a cooling system recommended?

2) Some ISP's offer 5X web acceleration. My understanding is that they
all require Windows or Mac to run the software although my
understanding is that they are just doing compression before the send
and the software does the decompression. Simple enough. Are their any
ISP's offering a Linux compatible speed-up?

Thanks!
