(There is always a way to do anything in software :D) But it won't be enabled by default, because it would be considered to be bad for security. We sometimes get questions here from people who wonder why their (Windows) computer is dialling out in the middle of the night. ;-) | Graham L (2) | ||
| 110990 | 2003-01-06 02:40:00 | Thankyou people, I do believe Rod hit the nail so to speak, <I believe one of the differences between Windows and Linux is that Linux internet-related programs don't 'dial on demand'. With Linux you have to manually make the connection first then check your mail or whatever. Bit of an inconvenience I suppose. So s/pose have to put up with the inconeience:p Cheers merlin-nz ;-) |
