Switching between Modems
When you have two dial-up modems installed on a computer, say one internal
and one external, you can switch between them by going into Modems in the Control Panel and selecting the modem. Apart from physically manipulating the connection path, how do you do this when two modems are installed and one of them is DSL? |

1. How do you disable the modem through Windows?
2. Where is "Connect using Local Area Network". I can't find it.

But it's definitely a homebrew solution with additional detritus to slog through. I couldn't find any evidence that the OS has a response for this designed into the system. But thanks for pointing me in the quasi-right direction. |
