I recently had to go from two separate phone lines, one for my house

one for my computer to one line for both. I connected a switch to the
line
so I can turn off the computer line when not needed. Now, about every 20
seconds I get two messages. One is labeled "Internet Connect" and
says-"No
dial tone detected. Please check phone line connection and try again." I
don't want to try again.
The second message is the Modem Port Window that wants me to check the
connect button. I don't want to check the button. I have to stop what I
am
doing to get rid of these pesky interruptions.
What can I do to block out these aggrevations?
Thanks

A program and/or X is trying to dial out and the modem is not switched
to the phone line.
First, if you are aware of any programs that like to update from the
internet on a regular basis then use them only when you are online.
Second, go into the Network Preference Panel, select the PPP tab and
then the PPP Options button. From here check the first selection
"Connect automatically..." if it is active then uncheck the box. Third,
go into the Date & Time Preference Panel, select the Network Time tab
and uncheck the "Use a network time server" setting if it is selected.
That should solve all your current internet problems except one, using a
dialup line... 8)
