Personally I have a fast internet connection and would prefer the timeout to be low... but I also have the same ISDN issues at another location where I would want the timeout to be higher (30 seconds is usually about right). -- Dan Hardiker [dhardiker@staff.firstcreative.net] ADAM Software & Systems Engineer First Creative Ltd
