Ha ha, well, it means I'm continuously connected so long as I am dialed in via
the 56K modem.  Otherwise it's disconnected, far as I'm concerned, even though
the cable is still linked in.  One-way cable modem access, for those who don't
know, is simply a download route.  Uploads go through regular dial-up modems.
I figure that's half and half.  :-)
