...without deleting a modem?

Marcia's machine connects to the Internet through my LinkSys router, just as mine does. We both have occasional problems with our DSL connection, so we have dialup as a backup. I've set my WinXP Home connection so that it never dials up automatically when the DSL goes down; I have to manually open that connection. But for some reason, I can't seem to set Marcia's machine the same way. Worse yet, hers often dials up when the DSL connection is working perfectly.

Any thoughts?
