I thought that your system was on an ISP with a direct connection???
If not, then you should do a couple of things:
1. Get your ISP to change your setup so that you do not have a timeout. If he cannot do this, find one that can.
2. Make sure that your PPP client is not set to disconnect after a certain time.
3. You can use Eudora to periodically check your mail (or mail server) to keep the line busy.
4. You can use a program like What Route to ping the ISPs hosts.
5. You can buy OAT <== Recommended solution, for a lot of things...
