Hi John,
Not sure whether or not Netscape has the option to automatically connect using your
default connection when it detects that an Internet connection is needed (like
Internet Explorer does if the option is set using Control Panel > Internet Options >
Connections [tab]: Always dial my default connection). Perhaps you can find your
answer in Netscape's Help or a Netscape Newsgroup.
Or, if Windows Scripting Host is functional on your system, you could try to
automate this task using a script like illustrated below. Just replace the
uppercase words as indicated and save the script with a .vbs extension.
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "8DOT3 PATH TO NETSCAPE"
WScript.Sleep 1500
WshShell.Run "rasphone.exe -d NAME OF YOUR CONNECTION"
Set WshShell = Nothing
For example, on my computer the following opens Internet Explorer and dials my
dial-up network connection named alpha1 (as seen in the Network and Dial-up
Connections folder):
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\iexplore.exe"
WScript.Sleep 1500
WshShell.Run "rasphone.exe -d alpha1"
Set WshShell = Nothing

Sorry about the top-post, but I wondered if you could direct me to a good
source of information and/or tutorials on Windows Scripting (especially one
that caters to batch file whizzes like myself). Thanks!

Hi Steve,
Check-out the Script Center at TechNet:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter
Also, hang-out in Microsoft newsgroups that have scripting as part of the
name such as:
microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript
microsoft.public.scripting.wsh
