Thanks for the tips about bookmarks and buddies. I cleaned out most of the junk in my lists and it seems to have sped up logging in by about a minute or so. I had a lot of trash in there. It still takes around 7 to 8 minutes to log in though.

Per'Gellen - can I kiss you??? 
only got 28k dial-up here, and logging in can be a real pita. 
Running even 2 clients though is no problem once logged in (Just remember to switch the sound off). Hats off to CCP for keeping the overheads down.

Might have trouble with the wifey on that one. She tends to frown upon such things... LOL
It really amazes me how well the game runs even on a dial-up connection. The devs really did that extremely well. I've hosted LAN parties at my house with friends and had up to 5 accounts running at once on a shared 33.6k dial-up connection with virtually no lag related problems. My old ISP used to even disconnected me for inactivity sometimes while I was mining HA!

I see some don't understand what is happening. I have no trouble running multiple accounts on the same PC (as long as I disable my sound card before attempting it). That's not the issue. I'll explain a little better with highlights.
I have more than one account. I can't run them all out of the same installation directory or I get blue screens of death. Therefore I have to run them out of seperate directories which works very well. Each account has to download the .dat files the first time it logs in after DT. On a 33.6k connection this is pretty much all you do while this is happening. Can't browse the web, can't even check email. This takes roughly 8-10 minutes per account depending on various factors that I have no control over. Multiply this by the number of accounts and it becomes a very long time just to log into the game.
Now this wouldn't be so bad if it only happened once a day. Alas, such is not the case. For some reason sometimes an account will lose it's .dat files for reasons I can't discern. It usually happens after I get disconnected (yes 33.6k sucks so bad it should be illegal). Hence the tip. If this happens I just copy the .dat files from the backup location back into the cache folder of the account that lost theirs and I'm back in business.
Also, by making a backup of the .dat files after one account logs in after DT I can copy them over to the other account directories and then those accounts can log in immediately.
And before anyone starts yelling about it:
I can't get DSL here.
I can't get Cable here.
I can't get Wireless here.
I can't even get Satelite here (even if I wanted it's horrible latency). To many trees.
I hope this clears up any confusion.
