Sure is! Have a look on the net for a freeware program called DUNCE
(which stands for Dial Up Networking Enhancement). I'm sorry i can't
remember a URL but maybe someone else can post it here (hint!).
Amongst other useful things it will automatically "press" the Connect
button for you.

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.

   What you are trying to do is possible.  Just go into My Computer, the
open the Dial-Up Networking folder and select the connection that you
wish to modify.  Then go to Connections and Settings.  Just select the
Don't Prompt to Use Dial-Up Network radio button at the bottom.

Caution!  When my connection was configured this way along with my
Internet Settings set to Connect to Internet as Needed, every time I
booted up my machine it would start dialing out immediately!  Very
annoying.  What was odd was that I couldn't find anything in my Start Up
folder, win.ini, autoexec.bat, or config.sys file(s) that would cause
this.

Let me know if you experience the same problem.  I just live with the
"inconvenience" of having to first double-click to establish the
connection.

Hope this helps.

James

I'm not sure if there is an option to do what you want. However, I have
a program called rtvreco (can't remember where from - do a web search)
which automatically clicks on buttons. So set it up to automatically
click on the "connect" button in this dialog, and you have no more
problem!

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.

DO NOT NEED TO GET 3RD PARTY PRODUCTS!
Just download DialUpNetwork 1.2 beta from www.microsoft.com - that's all
I'm using it for a week - no bugs yet :)

Install Dunce, which has an option to press the Connect button or
install RTVReco, which you can configure to do the same.

Both can be found at www.shareware.com
