I need suggestions on how to configure SBS2K to automatically use a dial-up
Internet account if the Cable Modem connection fails. As far as I know this
is possible with ISA, but this customer's configuration does not include
ISA.

We will be upgrading to SBS 2003 soon, does the new version have any
provisions for this?

Thanks,

Attila

dialup failover? Here's my take....dialup sucks, obviously. But if you
NEED to have uptime then you would consider a fragmented voice/data T1 for
more reliability than a cable modem. Without ISA to protect your dialup I
would tell the customer that I can safely configure a dialup backup
connection but I can recommend a cost effective voice/data T1 package from
_____ (insert local CLEC here).

I agree with you, but this customer works out of his home with a cable
connection, which has reliable, but there are time when it goes down.

He depends on email, not as much as using the Internet, so it would nice if
every once in a while the server could automatically dial up to retreive
email. However, manual dialup will also work I guess.
