Hi jc,let me add to what mr.mark and others have indicated. I have win98se, nscp 4.7, 56k dial-up, (cable not an option here, ADSL cost too much), and had same connect problems as you. I'm paying for Unlimited Hours, so why not. Downloaded a Freeware Connected program, Alive 1.52, sits in SYS Tray and now I stay connected. There seems to be several out there. Type in, Stay Connected, in a search engine. I got mine from Nonags, but can't seem to locate at this moment. others are here tho'.http://www.ded.com/nonags/index.html, Connection Keeper, 456 kb, free looks good. If you want I can download and PM to you. Think there are others here also.

Regards, /jw

ps; once page loads click on search (Left Center) and type in "Stay Connected" without quotes

ISP disconnecting ...

This may be too simple to work, but cost nothing to try. Open two browser windows, set one to your ticker, another to to Island book viewer. Wouldn't this cause your requests to alternate and fool the detector(s)?
