Well, see there's your problem... If on dialup you must first press 1 on
your phone for the full image, 2 for the image without knees, and 3 for
the image with feet, and 4 to repeat (reload) the image :-)

Seriously though, I had no issues with the page using 1.1.14 and
2.03apre (linux). So I tested the same with Windows (XPPro fully updated
w/SP3) and again had no problems with either 1.1.14 or 2.0a3pre.

The linux machine is 2.4Ghz/1G and the windows machine is 2.4Ghz/512MB.
Both are connected to a low grade DSL (1.5Mb down/384Kb up). The only
problem that I had is when testing with 2.0a3pre was that I thought the
install would be parallel (meaning I could run 1.1.14 and 2.0a3pre in
parallel), but found that it installed into the default seamonkey
directory overwritting 1.1.14. No worries, I can reinstall & select a
different directory - just found it odd as on linux I just extract to a
separate folder & run from there.

My guess is that the issues you may be experiencing are due to the
dialup. It's quite possible to lose bits on a dialup link, especially if
you are on a noisy link and have a slow processor w/limited memory. Were
I you, I'd look into getting DSL & given you are already on AT&T, check
out http://attsignup.com/att_dsl.htm to see if you can get a basic
connection at the lowest rate/cost. Makes a huge difference + you can
use your phone while on line.
