Just a question to fuel my next project...

Question:
How many of you have an Internet Service Provider (ISP) that terminates the dialup connection after a specific period of time has passed (for example 2 hours)?

Many people from the UK who use services like Freeserve AnyTime or BT OpenWorld will know exactly what i mean.

I just need to see if there are many people here this applies to.

Thanks. Smile

I may be getting dial up soon so it may apply to me Confused

You thinking of righting a program that will stop this? nice :thumbsup:

No, he IS NOT writing a program to stop this (not from when I last spoke to npsmith82). Just though I would set the facts straight so that no one gets the wrong idea Smile

Breetomas is absolutely right.

This is a screenshot of the program so far...

The purpose of this is that if your internet follows a time limited session, it will inform you that the connection will soon disconnect. Many people have complained about Renegade, that if your internet disconnects mid-game you cannot reconnect to WOL for a few minutes because "your nickname is currently in use." If you were to leave the game, reconnect your internet then you're able to rejoin instantly, without waiting 2-3 minutes.

I hope i haven't given people the wrong idea about this project. I'm just fine tuning this little app right now, shouldn't be too long before it's ready.
