How to Keep AutoDial Connections Active after Logging Off

• Microsoft Proxy Server version 2.0

SUMMARY

Proxy AutoDial can make dial-up connections regardless of whether a user is logged on locally to the Proxy Server computer or not. However, when you log off locally from a Proxy Server computer after AutoDial has established a connection, the connection will be closed.
