@Stay　Connected！　Overview　
Unlimited　Internet　Access？　Not！
Many　netizens＇fish2＇　；　including　myself；　subscribed　to　a　so…called　unlimited　Internet　Access？modem　dial…up　plan　provided　by　many　local　or　national　Internet　Service　Providers　（ISP）。　However；　such　advertisement　is　often　misleading。　Every　time　I　left　my　modem　connection　unattended　for　a　certain　period　of　time　（roughly　15　minutes）　and　walked　away　from　my　computer；　the　moment　when　I　was　back　to　my　desk　to　get　ready　to　surf　the　net；　I　found　that　the　modem　connection　is　dropped＇fish3＇　。　Bad　phone…line？　Maybe；　but　how　it　occurred　so　frequently　with　such　a　consistent　timing？
I　decided　to　find　out　what　has　actually　gone　wrong　with　my　phone　line　by　experimenting　with　extended　period　of　non…stop　net　surfing。　To　my　amazement；　never　once　I　had　a　bad　phone…line　connection。
Another　problem　is　even　more　irritating　to　me：　trying　to　dial…up　my　ISP　just　to　get　a　repeated　busy　modem　signal。　Once　I　got　a　connection；　I　don　want　to　be　disconnected。　Ok　I　selfish；　but　I抳e　already　paid　my　subscription　fee！
The　truth　Is　？Ok；　it　is　time　to　check　the　Internet　newsgroup　for　such　weird　behavior。　After　posting　a　mail　to　the　newsgroup；　I　got　a　few　responses。　Many　told　me　this　was　not　the　fault　of　my　phone　line　though　sometimes　it　might　happen。　The　problem　is　mainly　due　to　my　Internet　Service　Provider　（ISP）。　They　have　limited　modem　port；　ranging　from　a　ratio　of　1：20　to　1：40；　i。e。　1　modem　serves　20　to　40　subscribers。　During　the　peak　hours；　many　subscribers　have　extreme　difficulties　trying　to　get　connected：　either　the　lin
