Windows98SE/OE6

Cable does not come this far out in the suburbs where I live; so, I only
have dial-up connection to the internet. I recently downloaded and
installed all the Windows 98 SE critical updates. Prior to that when I was
already online in Internet Explorer or Outlook Express, in Outlook Express
I could select Send/Recv and send/check my mail while
already online. Now when I'm already online I select Send/Recv and try to
check mail or send mail my modem connection is disconnected and I have to
dial-up again. I can then send/check mail; however, If I click to check
mail again, it disconnects me and I have to go through the connect/dial up
process again. Is there an update I need to uninstall or settings I need to
change? Thanks!

Call various ISPs to find out whether they offer wireless
high speed service where you live. It may be worth
insisting because some ISPs do not know in detail
the "footprint" of the wireless Internet signal from their
cell phone towers.

I suppose the "Hang up when finished" box is unchecked on the
Send/Receive requestor. There is a similar box at...

"OE, Tools menu, Options, Connections tab"
"Hang up after sending & receiving"

Is that unchecked as well?
