Seriously though, how can you be "religiously devoted to dial-up?" I'm not even referring to the speed benefits. I'm talking about it's "always on" nature. I truly believe Apple has designed OS X (and all of it's software. quite frankly) with broadband in mind. All these hacks cobbled together with rubber band, tape and bubble gum will eventually fail when one small variable fails. Fix the larger problem (ie: get broadband) and move on.

  I live in a little village in Lombardia (Italia)and I have no choice: it's either a 56 k modem connection or a 128 k ISDN dialup connection for € 90 per month. Anyway I bought a dual G4 and use it as a mail proxy server (40 different accounts). Communigate pro and RAV antivirus connect every 15 minutes to the internet, while SETI@home can't send the packet once the analysis is terminated to get a new work unit. I'm not able to dig with unix underpinnings, so I would like Apple to fix the problem

  Completely irrelevant comment to the topic at hand. I could write three times as much text on why I prefer dialup over broadband (or generically, faster speeds). Regardless, speed ignorance or lack of experience isn't an issue: I'm on a T1 nine hours out of every weekday, and I still prefer dialup.
