The one in My Computer | Dial Up Networking, works really well. I got
my ISP running on a friend's computer within seconds as all I needed
was phone number and username. Password was typed as just before
dialling. And the ISP's modem phone number is easy to remember
[46313000].

Yeah, this is right. IIRC you can click somewhere, the modem dials a
national number and gets this info, and connects you automatically
with a credit card or something. I don't really know as I never let
it ring out. Well, a 1800 number wouldn't have given any grief.
Execpt maybe all those ID numbers...

Thats a major bug imho. It should at least have the option to
remember it. But, I remember a bug when you told it to remember and
it didn't, you told it to not, and it did! That's a bad bug,
expecially in a shared house, and your password is one that can
change your enrolement at university.
