AutoDUN is a program that automates Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT4, Windows 2000 and Windows XP Dial-Up Networking. In its simplest configuration, AutoDUN will automatically start your dial-up connection, monitor it until a connection is made and then open your Web browser. When you click the 'Auto Disconnect' button, AutoDUN will disconnect your dial-up connection and close your browser.
More advanced features include opening and closing additional files or programs of your choice, monitoring file downloads, doing unattended file downloads using your browser, keeping logs, and automatically disconnecting if you should forget to come off line before leaving your computer to go to lunch!
AutoDUN can be configured with up to eight 'dial-up profiles' - this effectively gives you eight different setup's of the program. AutoDUN operates in two modes, when started normally, and when started by the AutoDUN Connection Monitor. The Connection Monitor allows AutoDUN to operate when the Windows Autodial feature is enabled.
When AutoDUN is started normally, it will open any user predefined programs before starting a Dial-Up Networking connection. After a successful connection has been made, it will open your web browsers and any other user predefined programs that you have set.
When AutoDUN is started by the Connection Monitor, it will open any user predefined programs and then wait for a successful Dial-Up Networking connection. After a successful connection has been made, it will open your web browsers (if not already open) and any other user predefined programs that you have set. AutoDUN can also be configured to send keystroke commands to user predefined program windows.
When you have finished online, clicking 'Auto Disconnect' will disconnect your Dial-Up Networking connection and close your web browsers automatically. AutoDUN has a powerful program closing function, this leaves your system 'uncluttered' when you come offline.
AutoDUN can be used with or without dial-up scripters. It is designed to open and close the RoboDUN scripter if this is installed. It is also compatible with the Microsoft Scripting Tool.
