-Good morning Chris

I`m using a USR Sportster 28800 modem.

I tried your method of launching Smartsurf from a toolbar button after
connecting in Turnpike and it locked everything up horribly!!

I am continuing with this and will let you know what happens.

I see there`s an app. called WS Timer which is supposed to be good and have been
trying to download from Stroud but no go so far.
