I'd also love to know how some signals can always be 'on'--like cable and broadcast tv while others require you to establish a connection like my beloved AOL (not). Obviously always on is massively more convenient but why doesn't that just suck up beaucoup de bandwidth? You're asking me???? I don't even know how a thermos works. :)) Okay, as I understand it, the copper wire has certain bands that can carry different messages: voice, fax, video, and data. The data link is solely for that, nothing else. Therefore if your computer's on and you've connected to the Internet, you can leave it that way indefinitely. That still leaves all those other services free. As for the bandwidth, you're not using any until you download something whether it's a web page or an e-mail file or live broadcast from your favorite digital station. I suspect 99.9% of the people reading this thread can give you a more scientific explanation --- and I hope they jump in. Cheers! pat
