Not for me.  My terminal shortcuts the carriers even when off.
(I know, once I came at my work and found in the afternoon I wass still logged
on from home although I had turned off my terminal.  Well, you might say, a
disconnect is called for after a certain time of inactivity.  And yes, you're
right, our dataswitch disconnects after one hour of inactivity.  But the
amount of noise on the phone was just enough to keep the connection alive.)
