Has anyone written anything (e.g. an AppleScript) to automate the choosing
of the phone numbers for Suftime/Demon Premier Connect? I.e. somethig that
would detect whether it was evening/weekend or not and put the appropriate
phone number in the Remote Access control panel?

Such a script would also be useful for other ISPs which use different phone
numbers for different times (I gather BT Internet does this as well) but I
thought I would ask here before other groups.

I have checked on DejaNews, but couldn't find anything suitable.
