This service is part of the Microsoft networking components. It is 
responsible for configuring and opening on-demand connections such as analog 
modem for both data and fax connections, VPN, and others. It is WinXP and 
Vista's replacement for Dialup Networking, the old Win9x way to handle 
modems and stuff.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Remote Access Auto Connection Manager Service


Can anyone tell me exactly what situations this would cover?  What exactly 
is meant by a program referencing a remote DNS or NetBIOS name or address? 
When, for example, would a program try to do this?  This service is on 
manual and has not been started as of now and I have surfed, downloaded bank 
statements into Quicken, Spywareblaster has checked for autoupdates, etc. 
It sort of sounds like a service waiting for a trojan pgm to use it (I 
include Microsoft in that).

Thanks,
AnnaSummers
