[krisoto]

what ia a program that tells my isp that i'm "using" the internet instead of downloading big co. file that will take a day and never cutoff by the isp?

If your using dial up, most people "back in the day" set the email program to "check for new mail" every 5 mins or so.

or you could get a program that schedules "updating" the browser cache for new website info, like some proxy programs do.
