Hello,

Can anyone help with this please!

I am told that it is not possible to find any software for a Mac which
will make a dialup ISDN connection at predetermined intervals so that
Eudora (or any other Mac email software) can check for email on a pop3
server....

This surely cannot be true??!!

'would appreciate an email copy of any thoughts..

Thanks

Geoff

Geoff:

You're absolutely correct...this isn't true.  Any application that 
requests external TCP/IP services will automatically initiate an 
Internet connection through a dialup ISDN connection.  This applies for
external ISDN TAs like the BitSURFR Pro or external routers like the
Ascend Px-25.  

Same as a regular modem connection....just a heck of a lot faster 
connecting (normally 3-5 secs) and transferring data.

Best Regards,

Brad
