Dial-up networking with the Guest account on XP Professional?

[totojepast]

Dial-up Internet access is working well on my home XP Professional
box, but I would like to use the Guest account for the other family
members for security reasons.

I see the configured and tested dial-up connection among the possible
network connections in the Guest account, but I am not able to
activate it. Please can you tell me what should I do to use the
dial-up connection with the Guest account?

Totojepast,

No solution, only a workaround available:

Guest accounts cannot connect to internet or cannot initialize a RAS connection [by design]. But Guest account can use an already ON Cable/DSL/LAN connection or already connected Dial-up [from other user account] using Fast user Switching. During Fast user Switching: while the connection is retained for broadband connections, Dial-up connections might terminate while switching users. To prevent that, set the "KeepRasConnections" value to 1 in the Registry.
