I already do that when I get fed up with OS X trying to dialout (ergo the "when I have PPP set to automatically connect..."). That doesn't deal with the problem though which is that OS X 10.2.3, for some reason is constantly trying to dial out (I noticed such a thread in the Mac OS discussion boards) -- waiting for OS X 10.2.4!!! PS Does anyone know of a way to get Classic to be happy with dial-up modem access? I find that I have to reboot Classic if I accidentally let Entourage 2001 check e-mail while the machine isn't connected to the web (I unfortunately need to use Enotourage 2001 (vs. X) since half my time is now spent in OS 9 again... PhotoShop and Virtual PC are _much_ faster in OS 9 than in OS X and I've been using them a lot of late... if I do web browsing I use X, if I do _real_ work I use 9). It seems to muck up the DNS info in Classic and requires a restart of Classic. BTW I found the threads on constant dialing out problems in OS X 10.2.3 when I was looking for another thread which I think, for SOME BIZARRE (they weren't bashing Apple and it had been there for quite some time) reason Apple decided to DELETE (I *think*)!... I haven't been able to re-find it again... called "OSX won't allow dialup connect scripts" from the beginning of November in Getting Online.
