Hi gang,
For reasons I don't understand, and just in the past couple of months, both
my desktop and Pismo have been autodialing, attempting to dial and go
online, without me asking it to do so. How come?
You told it to.
In the Remote Access control panel, uncheck "Connect automatically".
It's under the Protocol tab of the Options dialog.
Also, uncheck "Use a Network Time Server" in the Date & Time control panel.
For the desktop, it seems to happen maybe 2 or 3 times an hour while I'm
working on other things (but NOT online, and Remote Access isn't running),
The Remote Access control panel serves two functions:
1) It provides an optional interface to OT's PPP module.
2) If open, it provides a context for some of PPP's memory.
IOW, the Remote Access control panel doesn't have to be "running" for
PPP to work.
HTH,
- Dan.
