Yes, when you click "work off line" IE5 kills your dial-up connection.
I've done this to myself a few times.  It's what we want IE5 to do if we
need to run fax, for example.  My installation over dial-up appears to
have completed with total success and fixed my corrupted g++
installation even though I had to leave for several hours while it was
under way.
