Kinda like the a cell phones battery dies alot faster when it cant
connect to a tower. It just keeps trying til it gets something or the
phone dies.
That's funny. I'm on dial-up and I see no difference at all. I even
run ntp which sets my clock and keeps it on track for me and there is no
difference when I am connected and when I am not.
Yes, I have three network cards installed and running all the time. I
do have a local LAN here with three other rigs connected.
This is not making sense. If what you guys are saying is correct,
people on dial-up can't use Linux. That's not right.

I have a gentoo system (Actually I have four of them) and they dont
experience a slowdown when my internet connection goes down (which it
invariably does because my ISP reboots its servers every 28 days as a
policy, thereby disconnecting me ). Chances are its a particular program
thats trying to connect to the net and failing, thereby using cycles in
new attempts.
While we are at it, does there exist a program that can monitor my
internet connection and run a script if the net is down (like a restart
script)? I dont want to have to come home and ssh in to restart
everytime my ISP reboots its M$ Servers.
