Re: Dial up accelerator, mystery dialup

[M.G. Gallagher]

Since I signed up for Earthlink last year I have periodically written 
them about the abscence of tools and features for the Mac. Basically 
little has happened, and I get meaningless replies from their 
customer support person. The gist is that I can get service from 
another ISP for half the price. I'm switching ISP's at the end of the 
month so I can pay around ten dollars a month instead of over twenty. 
Earthlink may be good for PC owners (suckers), but overpriced for Mac 
owners.

I am "mystery dialup". Thanks to all who replied. I turned off the 
automatic time check and that seems to have cleared up the random 
dialup. I have 8.6 (stable and trouble-free) on my other iMac and 
have never had this happen, even though it is set to correct time 
automatically. My understanding is that this feature shouldn't 
correct the time unless I'm already connected to the internet. I'm 
going to experiment with this one more to see if maybe something 
other than the date & time option is the culprit.  Thanks again!
