Like me. ;-) Actually, I don't pay bytewise, but secondwise, even when the connection is idle. My ISP simply measures the time I spend connected... And I even find that understandable since dial-up server can make a severely limited number of connections, so I pay for being connected even if I transfer no data. Oh well... Luckily, in the office I have a full-blown 2Gbps connection 24/7 (for free), so I generally use home dial-up only for e-mail... :-) Anyway, glad you find the (snipped) info useful.
