- Since removing the ; a couple of days ago I have had no problems. I
- dialup to my ISP and I also have a PPP connection setup to dial into work. I
- also have dialup networking server turned on so a friend can login to my
- computer to print on my printer etc and also have tested and use Microsoft fax
- with no problems. So with all that I kinda doubt I will have any. If I do I'll
- cross that bridge when I come to it. I would say try it out and see for
- yourself. It only takes a quick edit and modem delete and re-add.
