1) Is dialup possible in 8.2pro? it was in 7.3 personal web not email
Yes, it has always been possible. Demand is actually a function of pppd. Please refer to its manpage.
4) what configuration files need direct hacking to enable email?
For dial on demand go to /etc/network/providers and look for the profile of your isp (if you only have 1 isp, there should only be 1 file there). This file specify the options passed to pppd for that connection and change the demand line to: DEMAND="YES" You should also make sure the smpppd service is running. For more info on smpppd, please refer to its manpage. Charles -- "The move was on to 'Free the Lizard'" -- Jim Hamerly and Tom Paquin (Open Sources, 1999 O'Reilly and Associates)
