I do not now use DialUp so not expert with it. Explore the use of script files that can be associated with automating DialUp (start by looking in WIndows Help). I believe you could then create two icons for dialup with reference to different script files for each icon. Try right click on existing dialup icon, and select Properties, look at the details given for program name/location and see if there is reference to a script file. You could then clone that file for the second connection. (You will have to suppress default dialup connection)
