Perhaps you set debugging rather high while setting up diald, and you
should just reduce the debugging level to cut down on the disk accesses.
Or perhaps netscape + cache is taking up too much memory and swapping, in
which case you should reduce the size of the in-memory netscape cache or
buy more memory (or cut down on your memory requirements in general by
eliminating daemons you don't use, etc.).

Perhaps this has something to do with dynamic IP assignment. First try
running a telnet or an ftp to bring up the link (or use dialmon or
whatever to control the link), then try the site. If it works first try,
the problem is likely dynamic IP assignment. One way to fix it with older
kernels is to place the line
echo 5 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr
in one of your startup scripts.
If that doesn't do the trick, write back with more details.
