Thanks Hal.  Do you have any suggestions as to how a 'friends' 
machine could be forced to stay on the internet?  I have it 
uploading to FMIP at 15 minute intervals [I think that uses FTP]. 
  And when it works - it works stable.  But when whatever is 
happening happens [usually late at night] ... the Westel modem 
does not reconnect automatically.

Cust Support just told me that IE must have a homepage entered - 
even if it is not open ie., that setting [ blank ] was the cause 
of all my problems.  I explained that computers don't really need 
to browse the net using IE to need connectivity.  She seemed 
confused.

It is my understanding that the Westel 2100 v. 1.05.04 modem 
doesn't really need a computer [once ID and p/w have been 
entered] - ie - that simply powering it up to an ADSL provisioned 
line gets it connected and ready for a computer.
