Can't get prompt for disconnect when I close ISP

J

Jim

I'm using SBC Yahoo Dial and connecting with WXP and IE
6. When I click close on the ISP home page, I am
returned immediately to the desktop without any prompting
about disconnecting and the phone line is left
connected. How can I get a prompt to ask if I want to
disconnect or as an alternative, get an autodisconnect?
