scheduled dialup connection?

ifconfig

I am looking for software (eg public domain)
which permits a schedule dialup connection to
your default ISP and disconnects after a specified
time (or event). Ultimately what I'd like is
to automate AvantGo transfers on my Palm device.
I know there is software called AutoSync which
automates Palm hotsyncing but the second piece
of the jigsaw is software which will do an
unattended scheduled connection to my ISP
overnight (for 10mins or so) and then gracefully
disconnect.

I know there are several programs which claim to
do the unattended/scheduled dial-up and disconnect
thing but I am looking for one which is both cheap
and reliable.

thanks!

Looks promising. Thanks Macker! I'll give it a try and report
back on success or otherwise with this.
Seems to be in beta at the moment.

Oddly enough I use GetRight. I know it's not what it's supposed to do (download manager and all that) but I just set it to connect at a certain hour and disconnect again at a certain hour. Can't fault it, been using it mostly just for connecting/disconnecting for about two years

ifconfig

I tried LemonDialer (its in beta as I mentioned
before). Scheduled connection worked well but
the requested disconnection time doesn't persist
when you close the app. It would appear to be
a beta bug (would be nice if others confirmed
this but I couldn't get it to work).

GetRight sounds like a good option. I'll download
that later. By the way it was pretty cool to
setup Palm with AutoSync (45 day trial) to
hotsync during the period in which the autodialler
was connected to the isp. This allows a handsfree
refilling of content on the palm. Neat or what ?!
