When that happens, and I was connected and go to another web site or send mail Netscape starts to automatically connect me.
When I allow that to happen, I seem to lose control. At times while connected I hear my processor clicking away (working) when I was not doing anything. When I disconnect, just out of the blue after a while I start to log on and I did nothing.
