Outlook Express causes dialup connection to drop

Dial up connection, works and is online. IE runs OK and access to web works.

Then I start Outlook Express, which ends the current connection as asks for
a dialup
If I do the dial up, it cuts off after a few seconds

If I start Outlook Express when offline, it goes online and cuts off or
freezes completely.

Any suggestions of what is wrong - it must be the settings of Outlook and or
Explorer for dial up, but I have tried several and cannot get it right.

Check your settings in Outlook Express at Tools, Accounts, Mail/News,
Properties, Connection for each mail and news account. One or more of
the accounts may be set to always dial a specific connection. If you
want OE to be able to dial, make sure that is specifies the same
connection that you normally use.

Also look at Tools, Options, Connection for Hang up after sending and
receiving.
