'(except me, since I've been on dial-up until 2009, and few others, it
seems), so it seems it's not so important.'
Well, when two people on the thread say already that most of their country 
are still on dial-up (China and South Africa); it sounds important.
Just because Ubuntu doesn't support it, doesn't mean Haiku shouldn't.
Including this support in Haiku would be a smart choice (given these
statistics) to perhaps attract a particular user.
I appreciate the discussion, just wanted to bring the issue to attention.
As Alexandre pointed out the question is how many people, interested in alternative OS's, are using it? However, it would be great to have dial up support! and since Philippe is working on it and François also seams to be an expert on it, lets see how far we get till R1...
