Emailing phone messages problem Mark Sekelsky Sun, 10 Oct 1999 19:07:41 -0500

Until such time as the phone company get ASDL or the cable company beats
them I am relegated to the old dialup method for email.  Right now I use my
"main" computer for Internet access.  I run Sygate on that machine and my
ECS machine uses my network connection to access the Internet through the PC
running Sygate.

If I have an open internet connection I can email a phone message to myself
with no problem.  However if that connection is closed Postie doesn't start
the connection since it is on another machine.  What I want is for Postie to
cause the connection o happen via the modem on the ECS machine but it
doesn't want to do this.  I would guess this has something to do with how I
initially set everything up.  I think (I don't remember where this setting
was) that I set up the ECS machine so that the first choice was my LAN
connection and the second choice was modem.

At any rate, anybody know how I can get this to work?
