Traders,

i have a question:  when  receiving internet based mkt. data (pcquote, qfeed, 
esignal, etc)  thru a basic isp  are there typicaly problems with with the 
isp's modems wanting to log you off due to inacivity?   what about being 
online for 8 hours at a stretch?  

I am just trying to get an idea of what to expect from using a local isp to 
access  internet based mkt data and the ramifications of being online all 
day.  i dont want to have to do some "thing" every 15 or 20 mins just to keep 
my connection alive.  

my plan is to use metastock 6.52 with dynastore, which is a utilitiy that 
mimics a signal feed using q-feed as the data vendor.  i am not sure if the 
data coming thru  this configuration will be recognized by an isp's modems in 
a way that will keep the connection "alive".  

i am currently using aol to access the internet, which is not likely to be a 
good choice through wich to obtain live mkt data.

any input is appreciated.

thanks,

krm
