I've found cygwin, which is nice, in that it lets me have a unixish enviroment
under windows 98, and even lets me compile stuff with GCC.

However, I'd like some way to run a program automatically, when a dial-up
network connection is started.
I can see nothing that does this, though dialing up when offline is of course
trivial (if connect automatically is set)

Any thoughts?
