I think I've cracked the problem. I found the following on the site http://users.aol.com/axcel216/newtip11.htm
Create a new Dial-Up Connection shortcut: right-click on an empty spot on the Desktop
-> select New -> Shortcut -> copy this text string in the Command line box:
C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\RNAUI.DLL,RnaDial "My DUN"
Call it whatever you want, and then click Finish to save your shortcut.
You need to replace "My DUN" (generic example) with your actual connectoid name,
to match the one you created when you subscribed to your ISP. And if yours uses LFNs
(Long File Names), i.e. more than one word, and/or more than 8 characters, type it
in between quote marks as shown above.
Change the paths to match yours if different.
Such command lines are case insensitive.
