No idea if this will help on dialup, but you might try going into about:config and setting: network.dns.disableIPv6;true Try experimenting with pipelining (Keep-Alive) and Link Prefetching turned on/off. Note: you can compare these settings in Fx in about:config as well. network.http.pipelining;true network.http.keep-alive;false Perhaps someone w/dialup can offer more suggestions. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
