I can heartily recommend APK (see www.apk.net). I've used them for
about two years total time now, and have been extremely pleased. I
left them for a while about 18 months ago because I wanted ISDN, and
they didn't have it at that time. I went with Interramp. I thought
that a national ISP would be better than a local one. (More money,
more support, etc) Not true! I came back to APK because I was getting
the same kind of service from Interramp you explained in your message.
I've been with APK again, for the last 4-6 months or so, and the
service is great, price is right, etc. AFAIK, they _do_ have a timeout
on their lines. The system will disconnect after (some number of
minutes) of total inactivity. I don't think this is unreasonable, as
it resets the line for the rest of us if someone inadvertently walks
off and leaves his computer logged on. I've found that while using the
Net in a normal fashion, one doesn't get logged off.
