I don't know if this will help, but it works for me when I step away and don't want my ISP to disconnect.

Go to est.time.org

This is an atomic clock page which loads regularly and fools my ISP into thinking I'm still conscious.

It's not much effort to give it a try. PW.

VB, someone else ask this question awhile back. One of the answers was to LogOn to Quote.com, type in a symbol in chart, click on 1 or 5 minute charts and minimize that page all day/night. SP98Z, THEN click on Charts, All sessions, for night/Sunday evenings updates. Unclick on All Sessions for day time updates. Or you may want to watch another, DELL?. I'm not on AOL but I remember the question, Worth a try. You can also type in a Option Symbol, month/strike, and watch this chart.

quote.com

Hope this helps, /jw
