There is a shareware program for Windows 95 called DUNCE252
[Dial-UpNetworking Connection Enhancement], which I find very useful. 
It does all the things you mention, even dials whenever your computer
demands an Internet connection, and it redials automatically if the
connection is broken.  It is available from most large shareware
collections.  Copy of the zipped program attached.
