Hi, Mickey, > Have you tried selecting Entourage -> Work Offline? That certainly is an option, though not really what I want. I only want it to try to connect if I'm dialed up, and I'd rather not have to de/reselect Work Offline all the time. It used to work under OS 9. I'm really surprised that this has not come up before, doesn't anyone else dial-up for the internet but still have an ethernet network? > I know that there is an option to run the schedule "Only if connected" if > you open it in Tools -> Schedules.

Unchecking "Built-in Ethernet" wipes out my ability to connect to the other Mac. And just leaving the Network Preference pane showing the Internal Modem doesn't work. Any other suggestions? Out of curiosity, does 'rage ask the OS if it's connected to the internet, or does it work through its own logic?
