| Bought RH9. Went to up2date (after all the certificate stuff). Began
downloading updates...dies right in the middle every time. I'm on dial-up.
Slow, but should not be a problem though tons of stuff to download. Anyone
have a clue what's up?

It would appear to be a redhat problem, has happened to me several
times, just cancel out, go back couple hours later, will usually pick up
where it was.

Select one of ther mirrors listed here.
http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html
Download the most current u2pdate version and install it by hand with
'rpm -U u2date*.rpm'
You can do this with almost any other packag, too.
