text: internet speed problem? i am using internet service on a dail-up connection. so the speed is quite slow. if i am opneing a two or more windows at a time and working on them the speed dose not effects on all them. only the active window will be opened and the rest of the windows will be idle. to work on other window to open the page i have to keep the window on top. the windows which are minimised stops working, to make them work i have to open them simultaniously. is the speed effects on only those windows which are open and are on the top of all. dose the speed dose not effect on all eqally. my speed are recorded arround 20-30 kb/sec. how to maximise the speed and what necessary maintanence should i do for a better speed. you are limited by your dial up connection as well as your ram and internal clock speed.  get dsl/cable or try directv if there are no ground lines.
