    Do you mean that the modem connection craps out before the updates can finish loading? Just keep at it, I guess. I can't really think of anything better. :doubt:

    Could you maybe use a "KeepAlive" program?

    Open up Outlook Express or the mail client that you use, and have it check for mail every 3 minutes, then minimize the email client. This will keep your connection alive by polling your ISP's server for new mail.

    Hope this helps...

    Cheers :D

    Well, I wasn't able to figure out how to do the 'mail' thingy so I guess I'll try the 'keep alive' one. My understanding is that some ISP's get cranky when pinged!

    Thanks

    Open up Outlook Express

    Tools.

    Options.

    General Tab.

    Send and Receive.

    Change "Check for new messages" to 3 min.

    Click on "Apply".

    Minimize Outlook Express to your Task Bar.

    Cheers :D

    Well guys,

    I figured I should post again to let people know that I (w/no small help) finally got things going. Don't really have a clue as to what did it but webyourbusiness and Blackspear got me going in the right direction. I don't think I ever solved a tricky (for me) problem this quickly.

    Many thanks!

    Play on, big ed
