That's funny.  I'm on dial-up and I see no difference at all.  I even
run ntp which sets my clock and keeps it on track for me and there is no
difference when I am connected and when I am not.

Yes, I have three network cards installed and running all the time.  I
do have a local LAN here with three other rigs connected.

This is not making sense.  If what you guys are saying is correct,
people on dial-up can't use Linux.  That's not right.
