If BOINC needs to say upload a result/trickle and you are not online, it will just keep trying until you are online. BOINC freezing up when it can't talk to servers has also never happened to me, again it will just keep trying, and work will continue to be crunched. BOINC, while not perfect, runs fine on dial-up (as long as you use the GUI, and can so tell it to upload results when you get online). Heffed, I see you are running CPDN on one computer, so maybe your problem lies with the computer and not BOINC. Also what are your settings, as I have my settings in windows to never dial a connection automatically, and just upload the results whener I get online.
