I can think of a few choices

1. Get IPDial off aminet. It has quite a good scripting language. I don;t
   know how it compares to dialup/slipcall though, as I haven't used those
   packages.

2. If you Uni supports PPP then get the unregistered version of
   ppp.device off aminet. This includes it's own dialer, however, the
   dialer scripts commands are fairly basic when compared to IPdial, basically 
   WAIT string, SEND string and so on. It gets the job done though.


3. I have seen a thing called "varknet" mentioned in some of the Amiga releated
   newsgroups, which is meant to be some easy to use/setup TCP/IP-SLIP config
   system. Once again no comments as I haven't used it. It is on Aminet somewhere,
   probably comm/tcp. Check the index file.

If you end up going the PPP way, I strongly suggest you register with the author
of PPP.device. The registration price is extremly cheap and the s/w is rock
solid (IMHO) , not to mention the registered version is faster.
