We've got one (or something quite similar from them) now. We're having
problems with the modem losing connect overnight. (If the system we're
using supports recognizing this, killing the slipd process, & redialing
automatically we haven't figured out how. I'm likely to have to write
something to do this. <sigh>

You may be getting clipped by a modem idle timeout.

That was my own guess. So I wrote a little program to run in the background
& ping the host we're connected to every 15 minutes. Seems to have worked,
mostly but not always, but maybe the modem's timeout is 15 minutes & sometimes
we're hitting it & sometimes not. (OTOH, we think we'd gone a couple
of hours OK without activity without the pinger, so we're still in the dark.
At least the pinger is providing hard info on WHEN we go down.)

I used to work indirectly for http://wwnet.net and I still use it as a
regular customer. Signed up for their $150 per year plan and I expect to
renew. Performance is pretty good and busy signals are pretty unusual in my
expirence. Although their Ann Arbor number does not always work for me, they
have another dialin I can use which is very consistant.
My second favorite local ISP is ICnet because they give grex a really good
deal for its link to the 'net.

This is a question for # 6. IF they offer you a static IP and unlimited
service, this is a much different than a leased connection? I know that
leased connections cost more than a lot.

resp:6 was entered a long time ago. I assume that they no longer offer
statis IP addresses in 1999.
