Windows can be set up to "autodial" your ISP if you try to make a TCP/IP
connection with *any* application (including Kermit), so you don't need
IE for this. The tricky part for automation is getting past the dialog
box it pops up when it autodials. If you don't mind the dialog box
(or have a way to disable it) you can simply start Kermit and run your
script, just as if you had a hardwired Internet connection.
