Hi Chuck: The modem speed won't be a problem I don't think. The problem may be you processor. I tried like hell to get real audio to work with my 486 and couldn't get it to work. You maybe in better shape than I was though, because I only a a 66/2. You need the xvfb package. I am not sure where to find that but there are other slackware users here that have installed it they can tell where to find it. You can get the real player and the various scripts you need from the goodies directory on bumpy. The real play is an rpm package so you'll need alien to convert it.
