Ahhhh... that's what I said. The DBA absolutely MUST be able to do work on the SQLserver if there is any connection possible at all and the dial-in connection is what my customer uses for out-of-band maintenance even when the internet connection is not down. That's what they have now and they won't hear any discussion about how reliable their connection is plus the low probability of the server having a problem at the same time as the internet link. They pays the bills and promptly too. I plays their choice of tune if it is at all feasible. >From the land "down under": Australia. Do we look <umop apisdn> from up over?
