Steve This problem interests me because we do a lot of stuff with the RAS API.
Do you have some small app that exhibits the failure (i.e. tries to complete a connection and the OS doesn't dial out)? Or better - does the smtpdem.pas fail this way? (the only one I have is the one that came with D5) If i've somehow missed that you solved this it already some way (other than by using your own dialer) please repost it. (Sometimes the list misbehaves.) tia -ns http://www.roserox.co.th ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Galyer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Multiple recipients of list delphi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2001 6:47 AM Subject: Re: [DUG]: TNMSMTP > Hi Patrick > > Relies on the system to dial. > > Regards > Steve Galyer > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Patrick Dunford" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Multiple recipients of list delphi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2001 12:27 PM > Subject: RE: [DUG]: TNMSMTP > > > > We assume that you are referring to the default action that occurs when an > > application requests Internet access.
