It looks like I'm almost home...nobody breathe. I have diald working. Now, how do I launch it automatically in my boot up? Basically, I want everybody on the network to be able to use it. Which right now is 1 PC, with about 4 users. Also, It seems to dial as soon as I start it. Even if I don't need it to. Is this controlled in my standard.filter file? In a nutshell I would like it to connect when I need it to and disconnect after say 30 min. of no activity. Thanks for your help.
