Hey all. I have a question/idea. I recently added MyHouse Online to AHP and after some mess'n around I'll say it works 97% OK. Lots of reading,searching and not being super computer savvy brings me to my question here.
I like the way the 'Dial-up' options settings work. Is there way to adapt this method of connecting to activate any program I want?
The scene (for now I have to use Dial-up Internet)
Call my number - Predefined sequence etc.etc
which launches my internet connection software then
use LogMeIn do my thing, AHP or whatever online from remote location.
Just don't want to leave the computer signed on to internet constantly when not at home.
Right now I am playing with a PC Dialer/Answering Machine type program. It works to some effect but.........

If you know when/what triggers will open a internet connection it is easy with Smartmacros and the windows command option.
More info is needed for a complete how to! ;)

Tuiceman, thanks for the reply and interest in my quest.
I'll start with.... MyHouse Online service works ...I can dial my home phone number (AHP running-sequence I have set - of course NOT online yet as the line would be occupied) and the service launches. I have figured out how to tie my internet software (AOL) to this event, and it too launches. I HAVE NOT figured out how to have AOL auto sign in with password already there (typed in) once 'it' is launched.
LogMeIn account is set up and working.
This almost works. I'm trying have the AOL software launch with this method and auto sign in. Not use the MyHouse Online service (server) and use LogMeIn once the computer is online. This too in an effort to not effect the functioning of my regular telephone answering machine when someone calls. (so the Wife is happy)

I'd try a script writing tool like AutoHotKey (http://www.autohotkey.com/)
Create a script and have it launch instead of your internet software (AOL)
Then it can lauch AOL and log on typing in your passwork from remembered key presses. ;)
