In addition to the DUNCE utility, Microsoft has now implemented a fix
for this "feature".  The information is in the Microsoft Knowledge base
at: 
http://www.microsoft.com/kb/articles/q162/8/09.htm

That article indicates that if you download and install the ISDN
accelerator package (which doesn't require ISDN and has a LOT of
improvements for win95 DUN), there is now an option to not prompt you
before making the connection.
