I wondered about this.

Konqueror is unusable this morning because almost no web accesses
other than those to my local webpages are completing.

As I mentioned, while I was having slow response in Konqueror on 3.8 last
week, the response times have become MUCH worse in the last three days, which
is roughly the time that I have had 3.9 installed. I did not mean to suggest
that OpenBSD is causing these delays.  The length of time it takes to get no
new messages from verizon mail server suggests strongly that it is a problem
with the verizon network. (I *am* having a number of problems with kde
3.5.1, but that is not an OpenBSD issue). I was looking for either 'Me too'
or 'No problem here' responses from other OpenBSD users with respect to
network throughput problems. Your response seems to fall in the latter 
category. Thanks for the feedback.
