Re: Active Words scripts

If you're accessing AOL via your cable at home, it shouldn't kick you off for inactivity. I'm not sure it even does that anymore using dialup unlimited. I stay signed on for days on AOL bring your own access through my cable. Occasionally there will be a glitch somewhere and you get shut down, but I routinely stay on line for days.

the camera to work at home on the laptop, but the problem is, my
husband's business doesn't have cable or DSL - they have no internet
whatsoever (his business partner is so tight he squeaks when he...well,
you get the picture).  I plan on using logmein.com so I can have remote
access to the laptop, run the camera from the laptop, and we can just
see any activity there from my screen here.

I have AOL unlimited on the laptop - but doesn't it kick you off after
so many minutes of inactivity?

Is there a way to write a script in ActiveWords that accesses a website
every few minutes, or refreshes, anything that will keep AOL from
thinking no one is on, so it won't kick us off?  I know nothing about
scripts, though, and before I jump in to learn it, would like to know
if such a thing is even possible.

It would really save him a lot of trips on weekends just to check on
things.

I don't know if it will work, but wanted to give it a try, especially
before winter hits.
