Thanks for all the great suggestions for the dial up connection. The computer is an old laptop that I'm setting up for my mom (an IBM Thinkpad 770, with MS-DOS and Mom's beloved WordPerfect 5.1 on one partition, and Abiword, with xfce4, on the other partition), with a dial-up connection. I went with xfce4 because I thought it might be a lighter desktop environment for such an old computer (it works okay on it, though a little slow.) Anyway, I'm taking notes of the suggestions, and shall try them out this weekend. Thanks again, folks.
