If you have a dialup connection whichis better, faster and safer Firefox or IE?
I live in a rural area and don’t have a ton of money so I’m stuck with dial up. The best connection I get is 26400 whatever. I use aol as isp for now. Which works better under these circumstances Firefox or Ie?

slow dialup internet connection?
I have dialup internet at home. It starts off fine, but then after 5 minutes, it slows right down until it eventually freezes up. What is strange is that if I download something in the background (spybot or AVG updates), the interent connection will work fine until the download is completed. Then it will slow down until it freezes. The longest I can surf the internet at one time is about 10 minutes. I have Windows XP with a newer modem. I have tried both IE and FireFox and it happens on both. Any Suggestions???
Thanks alot (this has been driving me crazy)
When it slows down until it freezes, I cannot close out of anything. Everything on the PC is locked up. I have to hold in the power button to re-start the computer.

How do I get Vista to dial when I want it to?
My club is too cheap to get DSL and is using dial up and just got a computer running Vista. There are a couple of user at the club who need to be able just to run a program that does a file transfer. The problem is that I haven’t been able to get the dial up connection to fire with anything besides Firefox or IE. How do I make Vista do the dialup when I run one of the file transfer programs. I’ve tried ping, nslookup, etc. I suppose that I could make it dial by running IE and putting in a delay, but that is QUITE inelegant. Can you do better?
I actually have the “dial when a connection is needed” option already set. It often dials for IE, but not always and rarely, if ever, dials for SFTP or for any of the other file transfer programs. This is something that is specific to Vista (and rather annoying at that).
