Hi
A friend asked me (a supposed know-all) how to do something apparently simple on 98SE, and I couldn’t.
The problem is that his dial-up connection to his ISP shuts down every 2 hours. He is allowed to dial up again immediately however at the moment this requires him to manually click the ‘reconnect’ button on the dialog that pops up. He reckons that he should be able to get the system to redial automatically when the connection is dropped. Knowing very little about 98 I can only take his word for it.
Curiously, the dial-up dialog sometimes contains a checkbox labeled ‘Dial automatically’ (or something similar). But checking this makes no difference and indeed the next time the dialog appears the checkbox is again blank.
Any help would be appreciated.
