Using the command line executable RASDIAL you can create your very own Timed Dialer.All you need is the Windows Task Scheduler.Access it from Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Schedule Tasks.Now Right click and New > Scheduled Task. (Don't use the "Add Schedule Task" wizard. It's useless for command line executables)Give it any name you want, like "connect". Now double click the newly created task.In the Run text enter "rasdial " : Same name as the one in Start Menu > Connect to : Name of user without @dataone.inNow, the time scheduling option is in Schedule tab. Set it to Daily 2:01 amCreate another Task "disconnect" in the same way.In the run parameter enter "rasdial /disconnect"Schedule the time to 7:59 am DailyCheck the Show multiple Schedules checkbox. And enter another New schedule for the same task for 2:00 am Daily. (To ensure that the previous downloads are not carried as Normal download)P.S. while clicking on the Apply button of the Scheduled Task, you are prompted to enter Password of the current user. Please DO enter a password. So also in you User Account in Control Panel. Oddly, the Task Scheduler needs to have a password authentication. Blank password doesn't work. Don't know why.
