thread, this tip just landed in my inbox. i'm going to try it. thought maybe someone else might try it too. **************************************************************** TIP: STAY CONNECTED April 1st, 1999 Do you get disconnected a little too regularly while dialing into your Internet service provider or sending faxes? Here's a little trick that may stop this from happening so frequently: 1. Click Start and choose Settings + Control Panel. 2. Double-click the Modems icon. 3. Click Properties. 4. Click the Connection tab. 5. Click Advanced. 6. In the Extra Settings text box, type "S10=50" (without the quotation marks). 7. Click OK; then click OK again. 8. Click Close. This new setting forces your modem to remain online for as long as five seconds without being connected to a carrier, which often gives the modem enough time to reestablish the connection. See if it helps you. good luck! :) mark
