Hi,

When an external modem is turned off at boot, w2k Pro marks it
as "Not functional". The modem is connected to a COM port.

Could this "feature" be disabled?

TIA

Probably not. What problem is this causing?

Hi Dave,

The dialup modem is off except when needed. Users with admin
privileges are not allowed to go on-line. When a user forgets
to turn it on at boot, s/he must log off, log in as admin,
"find" the modem, log off, ...

So, it's a PITA. ;)

BTW, the modem is USR v.everything. Another USR modem
(Sportster) does not this probles.
