Is Remote Access Connection Manager necessary?

[ECO 0]

Is the Remote Access Connection Manager service and Remote Access Auto Connection Manager, running in the background of Windows 2000, really necessary?

Here's a good list of win2k services, what's required, and what's not. http://www.blkviper.com/WIN2K/servicecfg.htm

No... and yes!

Depends on what you want to do... I'll turn you onto something that WON'T work right or anymore IF you turn it off:

1.) Turn it off for kicks / experiment

2.) Now, try to use your Local Connections in XP

(You'll have troubles... or should!)

APK

P.S.=> Now, once you get your local connections all straight (like me I only have one connection to the wire so I do turn it off), you can do without it... but if you have to mess with it? You need it on afaik... apk

I disabled them both, and its dependancy the Telephony service, rebooted my computer and everything along with my Internet connection and home network work just fine. The computer even seems to run slightly better.
