Some sites that require a login will record your IP address (e.g., in a cookie). From a dial-up connection, you are likely to get a different IP address when you login again. This could invalidate your session. This can be a problem even if you disconnect for just a few seconds. That is, if your connection dies and you immediately reconnect, you might get a new IP address and have to login again. Some sites provide a checkbox on their login page that says something like "Restrict this session to this IP address". I never check that box. -- David E.
