I hope you will get a better one. Bellsouth never boots me unless I'm completely inactive for about an hour. Perhaps your ISP does not count telnet (the ICS protocol) as "activity" for this purpose. If this is the case, there are utilities, available from download.com, that will automate tcp/ip (the "web" protocol) transactions, so your provider will think you're busy on tcp/ip. You can also just go back to your browser and hit "reload" every few minutes. I think some ISPs are just "fronts" for THEIR ISPs. (They are several middlemen away from the actual phone lines, so to speak. I am not an expert.) If you are winning with CM, I want you to stay on! mongrel
