Hi all,

Maybe other people have experienced this:  You are surfing the net or
whatever and your computer crashes, or there is some other reason you
have to reset the machine.  The modem has *not* dropped the line.

Rather than manually switch off the modem then redial, I set up an
additional account in Genesis to cover this. Once you've rebooted,
select this other account and press connect.  This account is
configured exactly as normal, except you remove "Dial" from the login
script, so mine only reads "GoOnline".  This worked fine with
Freeserve.

I now have an account with UKOnline, and I tried to do the same thing
but it doesn't work.  I even tried defining a new modem which has null
strings for the "initialisation", "dial prefix" etc settings, and it
made no difference.  All that happens is the window comes up saying
its trying to "Establish Network Connection" (just like it does when
it works for the Freeserve one) and after a few seconds the modem
drops the line (local or remote, I can't tell.)

Does anyone know why this does not work for UKOnline?

Regards,

Ian
