I'm surprised that you would have to dial in.  Cable modems are set up so
that you are hooked into the system at all times.  If you have the
software and the modem, you're up anytime you want to be without having to
even log into the system.  Perhaps they didn't set you up with
linux-compliant software?  I'd contact your cable company to find out why
you aren't working properly before you throw in the towel.
