This is an internet dial up account manager for Win32 platforms. It will redial automatically, and allows specification of times/days to connect and disconnect. I wrote it so I could maximise my use of BT Surftime Evenings and Weekends, so it will automatically connect and redial between 6pm and 8am during the week, and all the time during the weekend. See the sidebar for screenshots and more detail.

Had a spare few moments so added shutdown notification. Now, when Windows shuts down BDial will automatically disconnect if online and persist settings.

Made monitor thread timeout after a minute when connecting, and redial - upshot of this is if we start to connect but receive no notification of a failure through RasDialFunc (as happens if the line is being used) we retry when the line becomes available.

Could improve this by dropping the timeout value and only hang up and retry if the connection is still in the opening port phase.

BDial is quite close to a release, though there's a few things that need to be addressed prior to this.

• Support for entering password if not stored in Windows phonebook.
• Fix for occasional bug seen where BDial reports opening port and stops.
• Tidy up debug log mechanism.

BDial has reached a state where it serves all my needs so unfortunately a big chunk of my motivation goes out the window. But I hope to get some more work done on BDial soon.
