Hi All,
I would like to set up BOINC to dial automatically using a modem internet connetion in the middle of the night to upload and update stuff. Is this possible? I have tried some settings that I thought would work but it does not work.
Thanks,
Pete

It ought to be, if you use BOINC 5.2.x and set up these settings in your preferences:
Confirm before connecting to Internet?
(matters only if you have a modem, ISDN or VPN connection) No
Disconnect when done?
(matters only if you have a modem, ISDN or VPN connection) Yes
Use network only between the hours of X hours and Y hours
Enforced by versions 4.46 and greater
Having set those, save the settings on the site (with the Update preferences button at the bottom), then open Boinc Manager, Projects tab, select the Einstein project and hit the Update button on the left.
Then wait & see if it does so.
