auto-switch to dialup

[Guest b.jeswine]

This w2k/sp4 machine has a hard-wired network connection that allows

internet access via a router connected to a satellite connection. It also

has a modem dialup connection that when active is the routed path to the

internet.

 

If the dialup fails, then the route is automatically switched to the

hard-wired satellite conneection and there is only a brief interrupttion in

connectivity while the modem redials. If the redial is successful the the

route changes back to the dialup.

 

What is necessary please to make it so that if I choose the hard-wired

satellite connection and that fails due to transient problems such as

weather interference, misalignment etc. that the dialup connection will

automatically dial out?

Any help with this important (to us, at least) issue, please? Is it even

possible?

It looks like might be the answer, but I'm unable to discover how to use it

on w2k pro here. The "Remote Access Auto Connection Manager" service is

started, but I see no way in the "Properties" dialog to tell it to use a

specific dialup adapter definition used to create the needed network

connection.

 

Thank you for any additional help.
