Thanks. One other important question. Do you leave VPC up all the time, or
only open it when you need it? If only when you need it, how long do you
leave it open?

If I use it for a couple hours and close it, no problem. The problem seems
to happen if I just leave it open-- then, after a few hours or 1-2 days, I
get the airport disconnect problem....
