RE: DUN dialer for a PC

["John Cirocco" <john_cirocco@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Carl,

We use a scheduler call WinCron
(http://www.ryerson.ca/~sgray/wincron.htm) for PC scheduling and it has a
BIF that lets you specify a DUN connection within it's script language.

Works for us and it's free.

HTH,
John
