Thanks for the suggestion, but...

Guess I wasn't very clear.  It's not dropping the modem connection, 
just timing out the web page request.  I'm still connected, can try 
reloading, etc.  It appears that IE4 waits a certain amount of time 
(amount unknown, but insufficient to upload a 1Mbyte zipped souce file
over a 28.8K connection)then decides the remote server is dead and says 
"Tuff, can't get the page you asked for, not gonna wait any longer. 
Want to go to MSN now?"

Just your typical MS attitude.  Probably a register setting somewhere
that'll fix it. Too much hassle to find it. FTP is AOK.

Thanks again.
Happy New Years
Trace on!
