When you get to the point of asking said question, it no longer matters: just have another.

Thanks Fork. Now for the next question.

Why would I want to turn them on?

basically, at certain prompts, you can't recieve any messages.
however, say, if you sit on the dock for a while, and then pop off, and you have a lot of fig hits, fed talk, etc.. you will get spammed to jesus as soon as you lift.
It's horribly annoying.

ISP allows you to send/receive messages at prompt that you don't with the default setting. One use of ISP is to plock on a sector - the default setting does not allow you to do this and still receive messages. There are other tactics also when ISP is on.

Thank you Slim and Promethius. Appreciate that info. I never knew that, but will turn my ISP's on as you have requested.

Too bad it was not a global setting. 25 games to change.

Sigh it is done...
