Not allowed to run both AT THE SAME TIME. Sorry for the shout but the whole point about the code of connection is not to allow
people in who should not get in. Unless connected to both and able to run in parallel it is not a problem. It may become a problem
in practices when they get ISDN which is connected all day and can be accessed over a LAN. Any machine with a modem in woill need
taking off the net or have its modem taken out. I have an NHSnet connection on this laptop, plus an aol connection and btinternet.
Only if I were to dial up bt health link and then fire up aol using ip/tcp connection built into it would I be breaking the code.
BTW, it should not work, it should crashes, presumably the firewall won't let it connect. It does work with a pstn connection to the
University server that I have. But I haven't tried it with bthealthnet, honest (huge winking grin)
