when sufring the web I now like to used SAFARI but I have had to boot back into OS in order to dial-up. The isp details are the same in both OS but when in X, I get the message from BT that the number is busy please try again. This can NOT be the case as when in OS9, I can dial up no problem. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

It is possible for a number to be busy at some times, yet not at others...

That's true, but I think it's highly unlikely that every time he's in X it's busy and it's free whenever he's in 9.

You know what's funny is that for me, it's been the exact opposite... I always got the "busy number" message in OS 9, but ever since I got OS X, I've only had that happen once. Sorry, I know that doesn't help, but I just thought I'd pipe in...

I had this very same problem the other week, and it turns out it was a corrupted preference file, so trashed it and hey presto!it works.

Now the weird part, I can't remember which preference I deleted! My gut feeling is that it was internet connect in my users library, but don't quote me on that.

Got to be worth a try though.
