Why would you wish to force and idle time of 10 minutes? Using your own argument you are just giving money to Deutsche Telekom... I find, in the U.K., that the delay from clicking on a link in IE when the isdn circuit is down to getting the page is around 2 seconds. That is so fast I hardly notice if the circuit was up or down before I follow a link. Of course if your call set up times and ISP authentication is a lot slower I see why you with the longer idle timeout.
