Perhaps an example might be a Web Server that abandons trying to get a page because the connection times out - which might usually indicate that the connection has failed. The problem is that the Net is so slow that you get time-outs when the system is busy - a nuisance disconnect. -- Stuart Palin {usual disclaimers}
