Thank you. I didn't know that option. I did set it to 500 but still
having timeout problems. I still have a few other experiments to try
but I'll be back when I know more.

There are alternative ways to update portage that are more suited to
your dial-up connection.
########### Extracted from
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/153842
Download a snapshot (you can find one in any gentoo mirror), and
download the md5sum, move it to $PORTAGE_TMPDIR/emerge-webrsync and
run "emerge-webrsync", it will use those without downloading a new
snapshot.
Or, you can manually do the sync yourself. Extract the
portage-snapshot into a directory, and then use the following command:
rsync -av --progress --stats --delete --delete-after \
--exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/packages' \
--exclude='/local' . ${PORTDIR%%/}
Either define PORTDIR, or replace that with the location of your
portage tree (/usr/portage by default).

Give it a try...
