Hi Mike. I tried it earlier on FC2, and the radio side of things works ok on 
dialup. Video takes ages to DL on dialup, but I tried the site again this 
afternoon on Fedora 8, and both sound, and vision are ok (45mins for 2m:30 of 
video). I do have a bunch of plugins installed in Firefox, as below.

Realplayer, dl'd from Real.com
Flash-plugin from freshrpms, version 9.0r115
Mplayerplug-in, also from freshrpms, and pulls in a bunch of deps, including 
Mplayer when installed.
The Java version is the icedTea that comes with Fedora 8

The setup is pretty much the same on FC2, except I am using Sun's JRE. Not the 
latest version, but it works ok.

I presume you're using Fedora 8, as you mention icedTea.

Nigel.
