Yeah that's how I thought it was meant to work. However if you set it up on Win2000, and have Lotus Notes, even when the connection isn't active, Notes won't dial out, it doesn't even initialise the modem, I thought it may have been a Notes problem, but another bit of software we use to connect and transfer data files also fails to initialise the modem when 'incoming connection' is setup.

You can still use the modem to dialup whatever you want. If the phone line rings, the the RAS will cause the modem to answer and then will set up the connection for the person dialing into you. Granted, while any connection is active, the phone line and modem --are-- in use, but there's no way around that! -Jonathan ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2003 7:08 AM Subject: VNC Over Dialup > How would people go about using VNC over a dialup connection?
