I changed something and it stopped redialing. Now I get hangups if I stay in the editor too long and my ISP is busy. Other times (like late at night like it is now) I can type away for a good long time and not get disconected. When I get this modem hangup Arachne still thinks I'm online but it won't go anywhere. I have to do a manual hangup (alt-H) and redial. The only time this ever happens is while inside the Insight editor--otherwise I never get a disconnect from my ISP. I can't remember what I did to keep Arachne from redialing. It's disconcerting, isn't it? I don't think it's an instrusion attempt. It doesn't happen with any of your other Internet clients or with Arachne except inside the Insight editor does it?
