Nice homepage: cars and airfoils (excellent penmanship!), but no Free Republic in your favorite links- oh well that'll change. :-)
Go find and install "Download Accelerator Plus". It's a must have for phone modems!
It'll let you download it at night while you sleep. It'll dial up again if you get cut off, and since it cahes the download, it takes off right where it was when it got cut off. Then it can shut your system off, or just hang up.
