dial-up accelerator woes

[Claire Hart]

I am on dial-up internet access (for a few more weeks before we go 
DSL).  Our ISP has been experimenting with dial-up accelerators.  The 
one they are testing for Mac OS X clients is called SlipStream.  I 
downloaded the SlipStream Accelerator.  I found it to not really be 
faster than what I already was experiencing.  Before I loaded it, 
screens would slowly load item by item.  With SlipStream, the screen 
would stay blank for much longer, then quickly load everything.  All in 
all, I think it probably took the same amount of time.  I also found 
that if SlipStream wasn't active, I could NOT browse the internet.  I 
could send and receive e-mail, but I could not surf the web.

Today I dragged SlipStream to the trash and emptied it.  Now I cannot 
browse the internet.  I can send and receive e-mail.  It's as if I 
still have SlipStream, just not active.  Do you have any suggestions?  
I have also sent this info to my ISP.  I use Safari and Mail.  I'm on 
an iMac DV 400, 1 GB RAM.

Thanks,
Claire
