Do you mean that you want it to auto-connect rather than you having to click the icon? ADSL connections are classified as dial-up for the sake of convenience. They clearly aren't but it was easier that way when they first introduced it.


Do you know that we're all in line for succession to the throne? Really?
Well, if forty-eight million, two hundred thousand, seven hundred and one people died I'd be Queen.

If you have got your connection set up to remember your name and password when you connect then you should be able to drag a copy of the icon to the directory C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and this should start your BB connection.

I think I might post that in Tips and Tricks.
