do you really want yahoo??? Is it for typing or talking? If you want a talking chat........use skype........far more superior.

it should take a mega-second if you trans-teleport your modem to a central fission actuating component

It's gonna take you a little while, just verys on your download speeds with the 56k speeds and all.

Totally agree! Skype is great for sending larger files as well, ones yahoo won't transfer.

Wow, even in my old days of 56k I dont remember it taking that long. Something must be slowing down your connection.

There's also "Google Talk", too. You'd need to set up a gmail account, but it's every bit as good as Yahoo! IM is.

You can also set up an account at www.meebo.com, which is a kind of online IM thingy.
