Regardless of what I do in AW, so long as it opens, dialup networking works
properly. HOWEVER, once I quit AW, whether it is to change graphics modes or
whatever, ALL incoming traffic to my modem CEASES.

It does NOT drop the connection, and I can SEND all the data I want, but NO
incoming connections are completely ignored and are not even processed by
the modem as they would be if firewalled. Additionally, when I attempt to
disconnect from the dialed network (ISP), the dialog will remain open,
though the connection is dropped, and control of the modem will be
relinquished. However, due to the window being stuck open (disconnect button
ghosted, only OK and details showing, clicking OK only drops it back to
systray), I cannot reinitiate a connection to that network. However, it
allows me to initiate a fully functioning connection to another, until of
course I launch and close AW. The only way to cream these stuck open
connections is to either reboot or log off of my Windows username and log
back on.

"Doctor, it hurts when I do this..."
"Then don't do that!"

That reply is hardly a solution.
