disconnection monitor

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

It is not a function of XP nor Microsoft for internet sounds. It is similar
to AOL's "Goodbye".
Start>Control Panel>Sounds and Audio>Sounds tab
Now check under program events and see if you have a sound
designated for ISP (Service provider) disconnect. If there is nothing
there, contact your ISP tech support and ask them how to do it.
