pon - Modem keeps redialing

2002-12-09 Thread Chip Rose
My modem won't stop redialing periodically, even though I've got inactivity timeout set for 300 seconds. A few minutes later, it dials in again, and does it non-stop throughout the day, unless I kill the connection with poff. Demand dialing is on, but why does it keep incessantly dialing in witho

How insecure are cable connections, versus dialup?

I'm thinking of getting a Cox cable connection/modem, and was wondering how hard it is to make the static IP address secure. I don't have a lot of knowledge in this area. What is needed? A cable modem that I could lease or buy on Ebay, and a network interface card, and turn off all unneeded serv

I like Mozilla a lot better than Netscape in many ways, but the STOP button leaves a lot to be desired. When I hit stop, it takes a few extra moments to realize it's supposed to hit the brakes and stop - must need a brake tuneup or new brake pads. Actually it seems a little sluggish in getting
