Gordon, Uncltodd here, Bakersfield West High Class of '69!

We finally became DSL-capable here in my little town in rural Okrahoma about three years ago, ATT recently pooled all our Dish, DSL and phone service, probably about the same as you have.

I use IE6 and XP Pro, both 2-3 years out of date, but still 'way ahead of my skills and ability.

I have not tried the Gashole site since Roscoe ran me off several years ago, might try it again just out of curiosity.

You can download at 1.5MBPS???

On a GOOD day I can run from 65KBPS to 80KBPS!

Ron is most knowledgeable and thorough. I just fly 'em, I don't fix 'em.

Is it possible that your DSL is hammering the Gashole server for a faster connection that it can't provide?
