New Or safer yet
Put in a firewall (I used a SonicWall) and filter hits from the ad provider domains - surfing sure went faster.

Of course, I no longer have home internet or telephone service - only cellular. Its too hard to get wire run down to the boat.

New Firewall on a dialup?
Thanks to Darrell Spice, I can access z-IWETHEY from my apartment in Houston. He threw together a P166 box from parts he had laying around; I just had to buy a hard drive and a CD-ROM so I could install an OS. Anyway, he also loaded up Juno, since it's one of the few remaining free ISPs. But their ads cause the browser to lock up well over 50% of the time. If there was a way to shut out the regular popups and banner ads, maybe this would go a little quicker.

Soon enough I'll call around to see if there are any ISPs that have reasonable monthly rates so I can move around here easier. Damn,but I do miss my Road Runner service running Zone Alarm back home!!!
