It seemed to me that Harry had sufficiently fixed his problem to
get his AT&T connection up and working. Yet, he was still asking
questions about getting alternate connections up through the
normal or AT&T dialer (I had discounted the possibility that he
wanted slippm.exe since so few ISP use SLIP, see his text above).
I inferred that he needed to get a configuration that allowed him
to switch between two ISPs where one of them was AT&T. The
solution, seems to me, is to either switch between the dialers,
which he's already taken a step in the direction of with his
trickery, or to get both connections working with one setup -
either the AT&T dialer or the IBM one. My lack of precision in
distinguishing between linkup and dialup is an error but I plead
on the somewhat muddled distinction between the two unless you use
something like InJoy. Linkup/dialer, the combination, will
normally let you configure as many different connections as you
choose to define - unfortunately for Harry, the AT&T one he wants
doesn't seem to conform to what is normally accommodated with
IBM's setup.

I was only trying to help Harry figure out how to either trick it
further or get the connections up that he wants. Can you suggest
an alternative for him so that he can get the connections he
wants?
