Thank you, just to clarify a couple of things.
AOL (here anyway) does NOT use outlook express, you use their own mail software, and that would only get around the true idle timer anyway, NOT this new one?
Here you have to pay for every local call, about 20-25 cents, but then not timed, so once you are on line it is cheaper to stay on than to log off and back on later....
