I must be missing something, but don't you have to have a slodem for the dialer to work? How can it dial out if the machine is currently online? I know when I had a modem, the machine would always be online.
For you guys with broadband, why do you have a modem still installed or a phone line attached?!? As soon as I got aDSL, back in the day, the modem was yanked!
