Subject: [Dx4win] dialup problem

I have discovered a problem since I began using my rig interface last week.
Please advise if anyone out there has a similar problem and/or what the
solution might be....

I use com 1 for my interface.  The rig and DX4win works fine together
except
for one phenomenon.  If I turn on the rig before opening DX4WIN or my email
program, then the computer thinks I am already connected and will not
activate the dial up connection.  It seems like the computer thinks the
activity on com1 is an already existing dail up connection.  BUT, if I
connect to the internet before turning on the radio, then the automatic
dialup process works just fine.  That is ok except I must wait a period
until the radio connection times out before being able to use DX4WIN.  I am
using WinME, 56K modem, generic phone dialup service, and com1 is used for
the Kenwood.

Is there a setting to eleviate this inconvenience, or should I just get
used
to it?

Thanks,

You shouldn't have to put up with that.  Check Start | Settings | Dial-up
Connections.  Bet you have one pointing to COM1.  Delete it.
