Can you explain -- to a newbie -- how you did this? (making it work
"rather darn flawlessly") The default is activate a bootup. But when
I have that checked, it grabs my phone line immediately and starts
dialing. And it doesn't wanna let go. This is both expensive (in Japan)
and annoying. I have a simple, stand-alone box that needs to
communicate with its ISP.
TIA,
Lance
