OK, here is the story.  If you can solve this problem you will have been able to do what many have failed to explain.  I have an IBM
compatible with 4 megs of RAM, and am running windows 3.1.  I'm hooked up through the university of Manitoba (Canada) server.
I'm running mosiac as my browser (because I'm told I can't run netscape with my machine).  My machine only has 25 mhz.  I have a
28.8 Cheyenne Modem with error correction yada yada.  The problem is this.......I load Mosaic and get my home page at the
university.  As I'm clicking on the various sites the time it takes to load them gets longer and longer.  The first few are very fast.  After
about five or so they start getting longer.  Eventually it gets so long that the machine can't load the site before the machine gives up.
 Is there any way to solve this problem.  I'm getting a new computer this summer but I'd like to fix the problem so I can keep on the
net.  Is there anyway to solve the problem (say in windows 3.1 or dos etc), is it a modem problem, is it a server problem, is it a Mosaic
set up problem.  I have already tried adjusting the cache in Mosaic to various degrees with no success.  The problem is esp[ecially
annoying on chat lines when the time to refresh the page gets so long I get disconnected.  If anyone has an answer to this problem I
will reward you hansomly.  Write me at [e-mail].
