This has got to be rubbish - just go to Eudora's preferences under
"Internet Dial-up"! There is a check box marked
"Don't check mail automatically if my Internet Dial-up software isn't
already connected"
Dantz needs the same check box on it's client software
"Don't check the network connection if my Internet Dial-up software
isn't already connected"
This would work beautifully! I am heartily sick of the delays caused
by automated dial-ups every hour!
I hear your comments Matthew Tevenan, but there is simply no good
reason why Retrospect couldn't behave in this manner!
My problem with your location manager suggestion is that often I want
to use my machine "on the road", and use location manager to switch
locations WITHOUT rebooting to install/deinstall the Retrospect
Client!
