Since offline means disconnected from the internet, exactly what can be done in the offline mode?

For those people who pay for their internet by the minute or by the hour, every second online counts to their total usage, and thus, are charged accordingly. For those kind of people, and those who are money-conscious, trying to save a buck here and there, they only log on and go online when they want to transmit or receive data. While their connection is idle, they would log off, so they aren't charged for their idling while online. For example, if you log in to your hotmail/yahoo email account, you need to be online. However, when you are typing out your email, your internet connection is idle, and thus, you'd be charged for your usage. Thus, people on a time-based internet connection service would go OFFLINE while they work/type and only log back on when they finish their email in order to transmit it (umm... Blackberries and internet-ready cell phones work on this same premise, I think). Anyways, just think of it this way, if you are waiting in your car to pick up your kids at school, you wouldn't idle your engine if it's going to be more than a minute; you'd turn off the engine to save some gas. \n\nNow, most people have unlimited internet usage (DSL/cable), so the above situation would not apply. But you got the picture...

In the options of logmein there's a setting that you can specify how long your sessions last for, it will be under the settings of that computer on the logmein site.\n\nHost going offline means the remote computer has either lost connection to the internet or the computer has been shut down.\n\nHacker

As far as not being online, your computer can freeze at any time. While online your phone modem is engaged and you will only be kicked out should you have some service like call waiting that throws those extra beeps in the mix.  So while online you are fine.  Offline your modem is not engaged, but when the phone rings, the modem queries the tonal signals thinking a network connection is about to be made.  This might happen more frequently if say you have a fax/modem and fax software loaded.\n\nBasically, as was mentioned up above, you just need fine a way to "catch" those incoming calls, or check your modem setup.  One cheap way to fix this problem is disconnect your modem (just pull out the cable) when you're offline.

You can turn a dsl modem off any time you want to. \n\nAnd its not required that you leave it on always. \n\nIf you are concerned about your online security. You can disconnect your LAN whenever your done, and reconnect when ever you want to.

If you missed any messages while you were offline, when you sign in again there will be a thing that pops up that says offline messages, you can read them from there, but once you close that you cant see them again unless you have your messages archived.

If you are not the administrator of the net, you have no authority to disable anyone on the net. In that case, if you have good cause for someone to be disconnected, contact the administrator and present your case.\n\nIf you are the administrator, you have not given enough information about the LAN, router and server type and your authority to make adjustments.
