Hi,
I need a script that can detect the connection speed of the users viewing my website. I need this so I can divert dial-up users to a 'dial-up friendly' version of my website.
Thank you.

Not with javascript.You will have to resort to some real programming language,such as java or c/c++ etc

Would you have a script from "java programming" that I could simply cut n' paste?
If not, is there any other options that I could pursue?
Thanks.

Wouldn't the program have to be running client-side? I don't think HTTP provides access server-side to the connection speed, and it's a bit much to ask your users to download a program to use your site. I could be wrong, of course.
It's probably easiest just to provide a link to the high-bandwidth version of the site from the low-bandwidth version and vice versa.
