Fighting to stay online (when you get online at a decent speed) can be aggravating.<br>My ISP has made it hard to stay online...as a response to so many people getting a busy signal. You can get online...you just can't STAY online.<br>Remedy: africam.com has a cam scan window that is (besides fun to watch) useful to keep you online.<br>That way I can fill out forms and orders online and not get knocked off until I'm ready to go offline.<br>(I'm sure there are other sites that refresh themselves often enough to &quot;look busy&quot;.)<br>Mind you, I don't just hookup in the morning and disconnect at night.<br>But while I am surfing/working, the e-time is more better.<br><br>cadman2<br>:)&gt;[) <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>
 
You can also correct this problem if you set your email to check every 1-5 minutes and minimize it instead of closeing out of the program this will ping( or send small amounts of data to the ISP) saying you are still active [sig][/sig]
