Who knows the trick for starting/executing a program when Dial-up has successfully completed (win98/2K)? I use Atomic Clock Sync to update my system clock, but it wants to do its bit even when I'm not connected to the Internet, causing annoying popup error messages. It would be nice to be able to start such utilities/programs only when you launch your dialup connection. |

I used to use NetLaunch (www.blackcastlesoft.com) a while ago. Should work in 98, not too sure about 2K tho. |

I've got a batch file with a shortcut on the desktop that launches four programs, including dialup and browser, with just one doubleclick.
You would have to find an option in your clock sync program to not try and connect to the internet until you say so and then include the program in whatever you use to launch your internet stuff. |

When I was using a modem to connect I used Freedum Dialup Manager - an excellent little program that reconnected you if you lost your connection, and automatically opened programs you wanted open on connection. From memory it was written by a kiwi guy. I used it when running both Win95 and Win98, but it probably works fine with the latter operating systems too. You can download the program from www.pcworld.com |
