Shouldn't that be
/me strokes his Cable modem.
?
Under DUN, select the connection and press properties, then go to the modem proterties, under the connection tab, there is a checkbox labelled 'Wait for Dial Tone Before Dialling'
Try unchecking that.
Make it dial without waiting for a dial tone, and you should still be able to use your 1571 service.
Not sure how you do this though. I've been on broadband for quite a while now.
