| 61738 | 2002-07-11 20:37:00 | Hi Baldy,just remember that the ISP's will disconnect you if you show no action after a time too,(15 minutes for Xtra),and that setting won't help there,so just be aware you may not be getting dropped off from your end,it might be them(could also be the line,but thats another story alltogether.

| 61739 | 2002-07-12 00:00:00 | Hey Baldy, after you're followed the other advice, make sure you set your email client (OE?) to check for new messages every few minutes to keep the connection busy when you've paused to read stuff. | Susan B (19) | ||
| 61740 | 2002-07-12 00:03:00 | Hi Baldy As well the steps outlined by "vk dre" you may need to make further adjustments if your connection is dialled-up when you activate IE and/or Outlook Express. In IE go to <Tools> <Internet Options> <Connections> <Settings> <Advanced> |
