This is also true of the NetCruiser accounts. Those who are 'holding' a connection must be active, or using a 'keep alive' utility. I'm not sure what the timer is set for, as I've never really worried about it. However, it does get me sometimes when I forget and attempt to compose a lengthy response on-line. Regards, Jesse
