Once upon a time A PM3 User shaped the electrons to say...
>1) Make the portmaster call a box running Windows NT 4 on a dedicated
>basis... i.e. we have a dedicated customer with ISDN and we want the
>portmaster to connect to them and should the connection drop, continue to
>dial them until it it re-establishes the link.

This is right in the manual. You set up a location for a continuous
connection and it will keep attempting to re-establish if lost.

>2) Set it up so that the when the customer calls in, the portmaster will
>return their call.

This is also in the manual - a dialback framed user, also uses a location.

>3) Is there a way to do call backs where the machine called is a Win9x box?
>Using the MS PLus Dial-up Server or???

On the PM side it doesn't care, or do anything differently. You'd have to
figure out how to make the Windoze box accept the call though.

>depending on the connection type (call back or we call them dedicated) you
>set the Type to On Demand or continuous.

No - call back is 'Manual', not 'on demand'.

>pm1> show loc SMB
> Location: SMB Type: On Demand
> Destination: Negotiated Netmask: 255.255.255.255

If you *really* wanted on demand it'd also HAVE to have a FIXED destination.

Um, I hope those are fake username and password entries. If not,
change them immediately.
