Please, en.com cheerleaders, keep the lies in your pants. 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. grant
