Telephony Service and Remote Access Connection Manager

[stduc]

Do you need the Telephony Service and Remote Access Connection Manager in XP?

As an additional measure against rogue diallers I disabled the telephony service. Now I'm wonderering if I should have, or if I should also disable the Remote Access Connection Manager service?

Everything I need seems to be working OK but I keep getting these alerts in the system event log.

The Remote Access Connection Manager service depends on the Telephony service which failed to start because of the following error:
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

Are you a stand alone compuetr?

check the link below.

I would enable the first one Remote access connection manager and disable telephony if you have cable/dsl, if you use dial up then make telephony set to automatic!

No - I'm conncted via an ADSL router.

There's no point in disabling one without the other as the remote connection manager depends on the telephony service.

I've now disabled both to see if I stop getting errors.
