For hanlding dial in and out modem conenctions you probably want to look
at something like DIP. I use it primarily for my dial out connections.
All you need to do is install the DIP set and then set up a suitable
script file (examples are provided in the set) to dial the ISP and logon
etc.
The dip set also includes diplogin which can handle dialin connections.

Ok the RapIDE driver should be considered beta atm. However that does not
mean that there are any problems with it.
I have been running the my development machine with all 3 HD's on the
RapIDE interface since I first got it going and have had no problems at
all.
