Thanks for your help. I have confirmed that I am able to now use my
FTP-PM objects just like I did before, but now using a slight of hand. I
confirmed that the FTP-PM objects use linkup.exe to connect me to a
dialer. Therefore, I simply made a copy of my new AT&T dialer executable
file, named it "dialer.exe", the same name as the original IBM dialer
and finally, saved it in C:\TCPIP|BIN, where the IBM dialer was
located. Therefore, now when I double-click on any FTP-PM object, it
invokes linkup.exe, which in turn invokes the AT&T dialer (that I thinks
is the IBM dialer).

When linkup.exe comes up, it has buttons that allow you to "Connect to
the
Internet", "Not Connect: or "Cancel". It also has 2 option buttons: one
for
using the IBM Internet dialer, the other for using "Other Dialer". If I
select the option for using the IBM dialer (actually, that's what I have
now set it to) and then press the "Connect" button everything works,
because
I fooled it with the dialer. However, if I select the "Other Dialer"
option and then press "Connect", a new dialog comes up, allowing me to
dial, or add, modify or remove an entry for logging on. That is the
process I cannot get to work correctly on linkup.exe. How do you add an
entry to linkup.exe allowing you to use it with a dialer other than the
IBM dialer? The only way I can do it now is to trick it, as explained
above.
