I lost one last night (PowerMac 7100/80, dial-up connection (no firewall,
etc.)). I've turned off the auto-connect feature, and will do a manual
connection next time I finish a work-unit. (I wonder how many hours of CPU
time have been lost this way - it seems a lot of people are having problems
uploading their results!)
