coupar,
There must be something else going on with your system....
I have been on a 56K modem for a very long time and my page loads run in the 5 to 12 second range. Could it possibly be something with your browser or something else bottlenecking your system...? Temp files or something running in the background that is slowing you down...?
I'd be interested to hear from other dial up users, as I don't think you and I are the only ones.

Edit: BTW, when I hit OK it took 5 seconds for the page to refresh............
