Keeps me connected with dialup.

Pros
Prevents the server cutoff problem, if configured properly.
Cons
Nothing really. Except that I can't afford broadband.
Summary
The best feature is the query interval. This must be less than the 20 minute idle time that most ISPs use. I tick keep connection alive and ordered URL query options as well. Works good. I rarely get cut off.
seems to work well and has good features

Pros
Can configure.
Cons
Too many whistles, Too difficult to chase cofiguration settings to the "just right stage"
Summary
I do better without.
Stops ISP from disconnecting while doing offline work
speters33wAugust 17, 2009
Pros
Fully configurable! User can decide how and when program operates. Internet adresses visited to simulate activity are selectible, and full website does not need to be fully downloaded to save bandwidth. Works with non dial-up connections.
Cons
Allows more than one instance of program to run at the same time. Response on some buttons can be slow.
Summary
This program keeps me on line and soves many frustrating problems. Low overhead for memory, processor and bandwidth.
Good Software
