When you encounter the problem again, go to 'Cancel' in the dial-up dialogue
and press Enter on Cancel. Then, in Outlook Express (or Outlook) press
<AltF> for File Menu and <w> for 'work off-line'. "Work Off-Line" is now
checked, and will remain so for the rest of the session. You are now
'working off'line' as far as your email program is concerned, and when you
dial up again you will be told "you are presently working off-line, do you
want to connect now?" or words to that effect. Enter and proceed.
