I can't imagine anything that would make it better on Linux. Web pages are simply not designed with low bandwidth in mind these days. > I do plan, after the Linux PC is operational, to switch to DSL.

Dialup modems are not that cheap these days due to lack of demand. > Others have mentioned this too.
