About the Refreshments Pages...

Selecting one of the links below will open up a new window and a connection to this server requiring periodic updating (with the frequency noted below). This frequent traffic through your connection will keep it open.

This service will be useful for:

  • Dialup users who experience dropped connections due to inactivity time-outs while they are reading the contents of a web page (or moving through pages already cached locally).

  • Users connecting through ISDN (or other direct services which may time-out after a period of inactivity). A symptom of this will be a delay as the connection is re-opened. The delay may result in "Server not Responding" or "DNS not found" types of errors. The request will the work correctly after a minute or two.

How to use this service...

1. Select the desired refresh frequency from the list below:

1 Minute |  3 Minute |  5 Minute |  10 Minute |  15 Minute |  20 Minute

 

  • Dialup users will want to use the 1 to 5 minute options

  • Direct users may wish to use a 10 to 20 minute refresh to keep their connections alive.

2. When the "Server Refresh" window opens up, move it behind your first Netscape window and forget about it. Continue surfing in your front window(s) while the connection stays open.
