Re: Gettomg a dialup connection to be quiet

Of course! The BITS was trickling it in! There should be an icon in the tray 
when an update is downloading, but I don't always seem to see one myself. It 
seems to be a trifle flaky.  J :-)

Interesting, and much easier to understand than TDIview.  I found that
there was only one active TCP or UDP connection, and it was a pretty
mysterious one:
svchost.exe:844 TCP fantasy-bernie:2369 208.172.158.220:http ESTABLISHED
I have no idea what that is... strange site: doesn't have an rDNS.
BUT: I managed to figure out what it was: it was *windows*update*.  It
was slowly doing its "background" download of an update...
