What is the deal?? Is this a known problem? I searched the archives but couldn't find anything on it. Has it been fixed perhaps in more recent versions?
Also, probably a related phenominon, revGoURL doesn't work reliably either
for him. Sometimes it does nothing, and sometimes it opens IE with a blank
URL. Sometimes it works. What gives?
Having done technical support for an Internet service provider for about 3-years during which modems went from 28.8Kbps to 56Kbps. I would say the deal is: do not panic. It's unlikely to under your control, at all. Modems are just pretty darn unreliable. Unless the user has a clean phone line AND a good modem AND it's configured correctly. There are any number of issues that can cause a modem to go bad and drop or freeze the connection.
If the user is on a modem, it's almost certainly a modem/dialup/ISP problem, not being caused by your app. If on the other hand if a majority of modem users report the same problems, then I would look at what could your app be doing. But I don't know what a Rev app could do to break a dialup connection. Unless the connection is bad to begin with, and the first real traffic over the link causes it to drop. Then it's out of your control also.
