I dopn't yet agree that it is a bug. Take the tickmark off and see
whether there is improvement.

So there is no connection at all. If you take the above-mentioned
tickmark off, then only the main modul will try to dial out. If the
hamster-account is set to dial out and the main setting says the
same, there is likely to be an interference on OS-level.

Makes sense.

No. When I wrote the above, I thought a dial-up connection had already
been established.

No. There is no tickmark at "Use account-specific...", so I have no
settings available at all. The main setting in TB is for dial-up, and
all accounts follow that lead, rather than have their own settings.
