Thanks to VP Scott, I found a chink in one of my sites, and a solution! Thanks Scott!!!
Anyway, I got thinking that SiteMapper might be perfect for a front page for those poor souls still on dial up! I know my front pages are all heavy with graphics and sound files etc. Could SiteMapper be used as a quick link for a front page? Obviously this would be a great way to have a quick page load and then just let them go to the high speed full site as an option.
Just a thought from an old man.

If you have a lot of graphics on a page and/or flash, etc., then you want something like a sitemap link on that page so that search engines can find you. With the graphics and flash, it makes it difficult or impossible for googlebot to crawl through the page.

Regarding dial up. In order for you to evaluate making such a big change you should ask yourself how many of your constituents may have dial up. If you don't think that many, then I would not bother.
Hope this helps. :D
