"implemented to prevent excessive traffic use"
fuck that.
is there a way to get dial up networking to auto redial after say a 5 second wait when i get kicked off every 2 hours. i'd like to leave it running over night so i dont have to sit at the cmputer all the time or have to get off so my mates can use the internet.
is there a script or prog that can do this?
i'm on 56k. you tell me how a fucking isp cant handle that for gods sake grr

Most versions of Windows DUN come with an option to 'redial if connection is lost' or 'always try to keep connection active' such that any time your modem detects a dialtone on the line, it'll redial.
So, if you are using Windows, check those options on DUN or your modem settings in the control panel.

Yep, what Kuru said. There's an option in most copies of windows to redial if connection is lost. You should be able to fiddle with it either in control panel, or in network connections.
I suffer from the same problem, except on a 4 hour disconnect. If you call and talk to the owners, you can sometimes get them to lift the option from your account.
The best argument for this is to claim to have a satelite internet connection. Because you're forced to maintain a dial-up service for uploads, the disconnect would be the limiting factor in an otherwise 24/7 connection. Plea that case. Some ISP's are willing to work something out with you, providing you play your cards right.
It might be worth a shot if no other ISP options are available.

There is also a program called DUNCE, or Dial Up Network Connection Enhancer. It allows you to do just that, redial if the line is dropped, you can make it dial and disconnect at certain times, and even have it run programs when it connects. Its fun to play with, search for it at CNET or Tucows. It's called DUNCE.

In the control panel, go to internet properties and select the connections tab, click on your desired connection (the one with the 2hour cut off) and click on settings just to the right.
This brings up a new config panel, now click the advanced button in the bottom right corner and voila, theres your options.
This is how mine is set up and it works like a charm.
