That would only deal with the sleep problem (if that's the case), not with the dial-up problem (where it gives me "DNS not found" if the dial-up is not connected). *However*, that said, it seems there has been a change in the behaviour of my system. Yesterday I got the DNS not found error, *but*, soon after it 'recovered' and was able to use TCP/IP. There's also been a change affecting Classic apps -- when they need the web now, OS X dials out (this wasn't happening before). Unfortunately, the Classic applications "time out" before connection is established and give me the "DNS not found" error, but if I click Send-Receive they will connect to the mail servers!!! > 2. Under the "Advanced" tab for the Classic preferences, make sure the > slider for "put classic to sleep when inactive for" is set to "Never" Hmm. I will have to try that. I've had problems with Classic on my tower after *prolonged* sleep of OS X so maybe that would've helped. Eric. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
