Auto disconnect ISDN connection does not work in XP!!
Hi all!
I am new to two things: Win XP and a new 64K ISDN telephone line. While I used XP and a normal modem (I was amazed to find that the Duxbury 128000BPS USB ISDN TA-thing is not a modem but some network device, whatever this entails!), I was always prompted to disconnect when the programs using the internet (be it IE or Outlook Express) was closed. I could then at least remember to do it. Since this ISDN thing, I have been running up telephone bills because it never prompts me to disconnect even when a previously used program is closed. Why, too, does it not disconnect after the time specified in my dial up settings? Truly baffled (and frustrated!) Please help me? Kindest possible regards Harry Fröhlich Bethlehem South Africa |

Hi Gordon! If un-metered means unlimited time available on the telephone line, then No, I do not, although, at a cost, there is something like that available. Since the post, I found a thread where Kelly answered a slightly different question, but which ended up (it would seem!) answering mine. I changed the settings in my HKEY_CURRENT_USER\RemoteAccess\Profile\"Connection Name"\EnableExitDisconnect to 01000000 from 00000000 and suddenly my disconnect if idle AND disconnect when closing a program started working! Thanks for the reply, though! Kindest possible regards Harry |
