If the ISP is offering full access with no time limits, they ought well to
expect complaints if they tried to block a port or limit a user's connect
time. I can't see any sane sysadmin blocking a udp port to free up the
modem bank... But then again, when was the last time I saw a sane
sysadmin? :)
In any case, there are programs available which will autodial... I don't
know what there is for the PowerMac, though. I'm sure one of the Mac
people will chime in soon enough. :)
