hi ed
>>> "Tools/internet options/connections/settings/properties/dialing/Enable idle disconnect/Disconnect when connection may not be needed" <<<
"No,its the route as I originally posted"
it might be that way for you, ed, but not for me. which is why i inquired.
"There is no advanced tad involved in IE 5.5 toolbar or Control panel Internet Options"
then that must be the difference, and that is why i posted to you that i am using ie5.0
"Perhaps Netscape has a different route"
i didn't use netscape
"The settings can also be accessed from the ISP icon which displays the connect to box(password,phone number,etc.There it's Properties/Dialing"
again, what i am saying is, not on my machine. if the discrepancy all boils down to which version of ie one is running, as i suspect, then so be it.
this is a minor matter, and i apologize for going into such great detail. it looks like your suggestion has fixed susie's problem, and that is what really counts.
:)
