Yes generally my major problem is that it drops the first connection and
sometimes the second and occassionally the third. Dropping of connections,
once established, are not so prevalent.

The Netscape speed seems to be a more recent problem since upgrading to Red
Hat 6.2, Mandrake 7.0 did not seem to suffer with this problem
