aha ... it's that 'never dial' option that might prove critical ... I'm assuming he is on USB although I don't know for sure. So, to clarify, *if* he is on ethernet already, the PC will detect that the nature of that connection has changed and just deal with the NTL SACM without any bother, but if he uses USB (which I think more likely), then he switches everything off, plugs in his USB cable to modem and PC, powers up SACM, waits, powers up PC, then changes to 'Never Dial' ... final point from an out-of-depth Mac user: where is this 'Never Dial' setting to be found?
