I am sure that you will only be terminated for "abuse" of the unlimited 
service. In other words, if you stay on for hours and hours, without 
actually being at the computer doing something. If you are using a 
program that just keeps the line open by sending a signal every few 
minutes, that is abuse and you SHOULD be terminated. Unlimited service is 
NOT a dedicated, full-time connection.

I spend lots of time on Netcom and have NEVER been warned about using it 
improperly. If I leave the computer I disconnect. And you should too.
