- I don't think (based on my experiments) that 4.3 will allow the use of PPP's
- built in dialer. Of course using AREXX will allow you to design a "robust"
- dialing script. I wrote one but then ran into a problem.... What to do if ppp
- goes offline (provider hangs up). Using a program I wrote (ReStarter), I
- would just issue a online to the device and PPP would redial and re-connect.
- Under 4.3, this looks impossible (no ppp dialer script). I am working on
- reconfiguring it to use the new "SerScriptRun" function (4.3 addition) which
- runs a given rexx script. So far my success isn't 100% yet. I am working on
- removing a few enforcer hits. Things look promising.

- Why? My connects under 4.3 are faster then 4.2. Not to mention the better
- scripting looks like an "advantage". Just have to figure a way to return the
- device online again.
