Entourage 2004 Multiple Dialup Account Problem

S

Simon Steiner

This problem never occurred in Entourage X.
I have two dial up accounts one for use at 8am-6pm which is called
Peak, the other for 6pm-8am which is called Off-Peak. I am running
10.3.3 and Off-Peak is the default account (it is the highest in the
Network Pref Pane: Network Port Configurations). If I am connected to
Peak I cannot send or receive email (if I don't use POPFile to download
email) (I only have POP accounts).
I get a error message from Internet Connect and this in the Connection
Log in Internet Connect:
Wed May 26 17:09:08 2004 : Failed to acquire /dev/cu.modem in exclusive
mode : Invalid argument

I'm pretty sure Entourage is trying to dial the default account but
fails as the modem is dialled into another account.

If I make Peak the default account the problem is solved but I get the
same problem on Off-Peak if it is not default.
I also avoid this problem if I use POPFile spam proxy for every POP
account so each email account pop address is 127.0.0.1 but I cannot use
for POPFile to send email so this problem still affects me.
