I know the feeling - my dialup decides to disconnect me from the server
about the same time your cable modem resyncs.

Yeah, but in much the same way that the phone knows when you're taking a
bath, my cable modem knows when I'm planning to snipe and on at
least three
occasions decided to start resynching with the network about a minute
before the end of an auction I wanted.

are 30 seconds left to go in an auction. always get
beat out by those of us who wait until the last *second*.
