You may have a look at this:  http://sourceforge.net/projects/dialtimer/
I have been looking for something similar (for an ISP), but the above link
isn't what I'm looking for.  I've been able to use Win32::RASE to dial-up,
but it used an existing DUN.  I'm needing it to dial up a specific number
on any computer that the code is run on.  (The ISP wishes to sell pre-paid
internet).  Now, I just need to play around with writing something that
doesn't use an existing DUN.  I can send you what I have for RASE if you
want (unless someone else has better advice).
