I have a machine, like your's, which is set up for dial-on-demand dialing to my ISP. Exim works fine here and only attempts a connection itself when there is outgoing mail in the queue. I manually fire up fetchmail to collect mail from my ISP's POP3 server and, if I have just written an email, I can manually get Exim to send it which causes my machine to connect. Works very nicely here . . . -- Phillip Deackes Using Storm Linux 2000
