Hi All
We are using a batch file for dialup purposes. Is there a way to activite a timer such that it disconnects the connection after an hour? I have explored the CHOICE command however it is Not currently supported in Windows 2000.

Hey, yea...write a batch file and use the Task Manager to execute it...or write any kind of a timer script...actually that would be better...prob. in something like vb...make it execute a batch file which disconnects:
shell("nameofbatch.bat")
That's used in vb to execute an outside file. In vb it would be good b.c u can meke it start upon a connection and it will count down to w.e u want...then when the time runs out, it will log off.
