I am NOT using their dialer.  I never downloaded it.
 
Just have 2 different dial-up networking accounts setup - one for the 0800 number and one for the standard number.

Mark,

I've just been looking at the details of this on their website, and I have
a
question about the dialler software...

The blurb states that you have to download and use their custom dialler
software, and if so, this makes it totally useless to me - I use a proxy
server, and must use the proxy server's autodial dialler. (which in turn
uses a standard Dial-up Networking profile). However, reading between the
lines seems to suggest that their custom dialler software is nothing more
that an automated script for setting up a bog-standard DUN profile (just to
make it idiot-proof?). Would this be a correct assumption? - can you
dispense with their so-called custom dialler software and just use a
totally
standard DUN profile, with the appropriate 0800 number? - (So I could then
use it with my Proxy server..)

Cheers.

Paul G.
