Well, if you mean WEP encryption on a wireless LAN that uses dialup for
Internet access, it should actually be less noticeable than on a faster link.
Dialup is slow enough that it's already the bottleneck on any device designed
for use over an ethernet, cable modem, or DSL link. It might slow down a
slowish computer to use WEP, though (like the 2400). That would actually be
worse at higher link speeds and with heavier traffic.
