If you have an external modem, you can even build a simple hardware device,
controlled by one of unused RS-232 lines, (or by one pin in the printer port),
which will switch off/on your modem under the software controll.
(Switching modem on and off after each two trials, when you have to try
100 times before you get connected is really tiring :-)).
