Hi Ed
While keeping the link up for an extended period of time helps, it does not
solve the actual problem.
In New Zealand Internet charges are expensive (I use IDSN), I get charged
for every minute that I am connected (both the local call and the Internet
charge.)
Good idea though if paying for an unlimited account! :)
