I personally never stay logged on, my router times out after 5 minutes of inactivity. However, I heard from an acquaintance that he had the same IP with T-Online for 3 or 4 days, although T-Online claims to break the connections every 24 hours. So I guess you could say that T-Online does a better job in this regard than 1&1. -- Gary Jennejohn garyj@jennejohn.org gj@freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
