Well then his first email was ambiguous. I see that he has responded to another part of this thread saying that he indeed wanted manual control of the connection. If you make the modifications I talked about, you don't NEED to control it; it will all be automatic. The only problem with it being completely automatic is that he's running XP behind it. I just saw a web page last week that talked about 18 different ways that XP "phone's home" to Microsoft. (I can't find the link again though; hints are certainly welcome.) After reading that, it's my understanding that some features of XP won't work unless the connection is open. So, with XP, the connection is going to basically need to be open all the time when he's doing something anyway.
