Aol has an idle timer that will kill you after a half hour or so. To
find out how to set it up for a shorter time call their 800 number,
they will be happy to help.

You can downgrade to version 6 or 7 and have it still work, if you
need a CD I am sure I have a few coasters laying around I can spare.

Hibernation will break the modems connection, but I don't know if AOL
is continusaly sending junk.

Contary to my email addreess, I havn't used aol in a long time.
