I'm using rsync to get Debian which is causing a problem because I'm running Win98 (I have to, I have one of those anoying soft-modems) so my connection to my ISP is set up under Windows. Rsync, on the other hand, runs in DOS so Windows doesn't know that there is active trafic and tries to disconnect from the ISP. Does anyone know how to turn this off? I've been surfing the web to keep the connection up and would really like to stop.Thanks,
Andy--

Try using any of the programs that keep the connection alive, these
are just two from the many programs available at Download.com
