Very possible.

When I'm at work, I frequently see myself log on and off to my home MSN
Messenger account. Obviously, I'm not logging on - I can't be in two places
at once.

What happens is that my network connection at home goes up and down, and my
machine logs me back on as soon as the network connection comes back up.

Alun.
