I don't know.  I've been lucky to have a stable connection which stays
up w/out problem.  The one time I had any problems, tech support took
care of it the same day, pleasantly and no BS.  Karl appears to be a
hate him or love him figure.  FWIW, I'm a satisfied customer that
signed on to MCS when it was a 2 person operation and one user
machine.  I have no qualms against recomending it.
