Hi, i have the following problem:

i have a linux based email server, which is connected with 5
PC's (win95) in order to receive/send mail from them. The server uses
dial'up connection with the provider. 

The problem is that i received a huge bill from the national
telecommunications company, as i leave the modem online for 14 hours per
day. I have to limit the online time. I want to connect to the provider 2-3
times per day, and send/receive my emails then. Is there any way to do it
automaticaly?
