I like chicken. Do you like chicken?
System Preferences > Network > PPPoE > PPPoE Options > Menu window opens > Un-click box "Prompt every __ minutes to maintain connection" Hope this helps.
Far as I can tell, Microtheft hasn't supported the Mac on IE for quite some time. So what's changing? I only use it on a handful of sites that won't work properly without the Kool-Aid browser. For everything else, it's Safari and Firefox.
Meanwhile, the folks who are so vehemently anti-Mac should relax, buy some Apple stock, and get over their issues. I use both systems, and I can see the benefits of both. Deal with it.
Yeh, that killed the little bugger. Thanks.
What did one lesbian frog say to the other?
Apple nerds hate Microsoft. Why would they use IE?
Can't even remember the last time I had IE on my Windows box. Wait a minute, I told the system to remove it but it didn't really. Nope, even though I never use it I'm stuck with it staying on this XP box.
I have to admit this is where open source looks good. Who cares if someone abandoned a product -- if you really want it it can still survive.
The suggested "abandonware" laws are looking better every day.
Of course, no one uses it, so it won't be missed.

Exactly, LOL!
The minority of Mac users still browsing with Internet Explorer need to consider moving to another browser very quickly, as Microsoft plans to discontinue support for IE beginning Dec. 31.
Gee, is Microsoft implying that on December 31, Mac Internet Explorer will implode? I can see the clock ticking down now... 10, 9, 8...
Which part of FEMA's web site requires MSIE?
The only time I ever use IE on my Mac is when there are pages that won't load, such as when I needed to link into my work email or some secure websites.
My upgraded G4 Sawtooth runs OS9 and has a 1.2 Ghz Freescale 7455 processor... slow?
Panerai's explanation is right... if you are connected using a highspeed connection over Ethernet... (PPPoE = PPP over Ethernet) but if you are using a phone modem the setting is in
System Preferences >> Network >> Show Internal Modem >> PPP >> PPP Options >> Prompt every __ minutes to maintain connection.
"I use both systems, and I can see the benefits of both. Deal with it."
Most sensible thing I've heard lately in the MAC vs. PC wars. Heck, I'm still trying to figure out why CP/M-86 went away just as I was about to be able to afford it...
"Which part of FEMA's web site requires MSIE?"
As I heard it, the part where you go to apply for their assistance. Was mentioned repeatedly on several of the threads about Katrina here recently.
I have used eBay extensively with Safari and had no issues at all. When I say extensively, I spent over $50,000 on eBay in the space of one year and never ran into a problem page.
