I use Win98 SE (my results with Win95 and Win98 were the same), and getting
disconnected from my ISP isn't uncommon due to the erratic quality of phone
lines here in Rio de Janeiro. I have never had to reboot my computer in order to
reconnect, and the reconnection will be done automatically on a number of
levels: I was in the middle of a file download, I access a different web page,
etc... I could configure it to reconnect at ALL times if I wished but do not
choose to do so.
