The dial-up connection that comes up when a program asks for a dial-up
connection includes a check box to connect automatically.
You do have to have windows set to save the password and have that
working.
You would also need to set the desired dial-upconnection as being the
default one.
If you have Internet Explorer 5, you will need to have it dial as
needed.
There are a number of options on the connections tab of the internet
properties for both versions of Internet Explorer that control this
feature.

I hope that this helps. 8-).
