I've set the options to automatically dial when client needs internet connection. Because it often completes a workunit in the midle of the night, I selected that it automatically disconnects from the internet. It's OK until it finishes a workunit during the day and I decide to surf a bit when the client connects. So it gets really frustrating when it disconnects in the middle of surfing. ID: 140394 ·

VB, A very good suggestion for BOINC. Hopefully they can work something like that into the communications of boinc soon. I don't know if you have seen it or not, but under the Questions and Answers there is a forum for Wish List. Your suggestion might get noticed quicker there than here. Otherwise, keep up the positive feed back, constructive criticisms and the suggestions for further enhancements of BOINC.

If it didn't create the connection it doesn't disconnect the modem after it is done. 4.71 and 4.72 contains the latest dial-up enhancements. ----- Rom BOINC Development Team, U.C.
