Doh!

Woke up this morning and whilst I was chowing down on breakfast, I decided to check my mail. So I went to dial up and...found I was already dialed up. In fact I'd been dialed up all night! Oops! I really hope I've got the right phonenumber for Freeserve's free number, otherwise my phonebill is going to be very painful.

Must sort myself out with ADSL.

Or you could build in an auto-timeout... half an hour without any activity at all? Hang up the modem.

Ah. I would, but then it would automatically redial again cos to get around the stupid 2hour cutoff from Freeserve, I've got it auto-redialing. Otherwise I tend to sit there for several minutes not noticing it's all gone quiet :)

There is another option that I could turn on that makes it only dial up on demand - but that requires a remote IP address which I don't get. I think I might experiment with this to see if I can get it to dial up anyway and then let it renegotiate a new one or something.
