Re: modem hang up
A policy against using ping once every 8 minutes and 20 seconds.
I have never heard of such a thing. I have never had one complain.
However it is not to nice to tie up your providers dialup lines
for extended periods when you are not using it. The only time
I have done this is when using providers that have very short
timeouts. That is short enough to cause problems while reading
news online or browsing some web sites.
