Will it die if line sleeps? My home line sleeps like a pig as and when it wants.
There is absolutely no bytes coming in and going out for minutes. And then it
restores or I reconnect. My usual work around is to keep pinging a site. Anyway
this is just out of curiosity... I have almost dumped using home line.... I am
not been able to pull my mails for last three weeks. I always get a pop3
timeout.
