Well, basically he has two options with a dial up connection: 1) In the airport admin utility under the internet tab, he can set the base station to connect automatically and then set the idle time for it to disconnect. 2)Manually connect and disconnect-remember we're talking the modem in the base station here. I have never like the first alternative. For one thing if you leave things like email application running, they are constantly reconnecting to check mail. And then if you have disconnection time set too short, unless you keep surfing or at least set the mail to keep checking, you'll get booted off. If you have a dedicated phone line, it's not really a problem. But I don't. Which is why I like the ability to make manual connections. Internet Connect will make the manual connection if you're connecting to the base station via an airport card, but it won't if it's some third party wireless card.
