Try this. Put the following ArcFax script, called !Quit, inside !SlipDial
and add the following to the !Run file of SlipDial. Make sure the last two
lines are the last two lines of the !Run file and put in YOUR pathname for
ArcFax.

[start of !Quit]

int main()
{
terminate();
}
[end of !quit]

Set !Quit filetype to &D65

[additions to !Run]

run <Obey$dir>.!boot
wimpslot 96K 96K
filer_run <Obey$Dir>.!quit

snip..

run <Obey$dir>.!Runimage %*0
wimptask ADFS::HardDisc4.$.ArcFax.!ArcFax

[end of !Run]

This quits ArcFax completely, runs SlipDial and then re-runs ArcFax when
SlipDial quits.
