So, I'm new to the Linux groove, but I'm enjoying learning. For those curious, I
worked with one of the free distributions off the net (I don't remember which, my bad)
until I saw a SuSe box for $30 with all the software I could ever need. (Including
MySQL and the WordStar apps which claim to be completely compatible with the MS Office
suite, which is good if I ever want to work from home.)
Here's a question. I'm using the wvdial function to connect, but if I'm browsing and
stop for more than 10 minutes on a single site (like when reading longish linuxchix
posts about gun control) I am automatically disconnected. Is there an easy way to
either a) disable the auto disconnect feature or b)extend that to a more reasonable
time constraint (20-30 minutes would be fine).
It's not a big deal when reading information, but I'm planning on looking for a new
job
<shameless plug>
in the New Brunswick, NJ area as a tech writer
</shamless plug>
and am concerned that I'll spend twenty minutes filling out an on-line job form, only
to have it malfunction when I try to post it because the connection was disconnected.
Any help would be great.
