Best Free Windows 9X Redialer?

[kenitholson]

I am still using Windows 9X with a 56K modem mainly for email, text
searches and file downloads.

When downloading files may leave the PC unattended for a few minutes
and sometimes the connection may be dropped when I was away. I am
using a download manager so normally the download can be restarted OK.

Appreciate any suggestions as how to setup my Windows 9X ( am using
both Windows 98 2nd ed and Windows ME on 3 older PCs) so to
automatically redial when the connection is lost or the best additional
Free software to do this if Windows 9X can't. I have done a few
searches and have found shareware but so far no Free apps.

+Search

I also checked my Windows DialUp Networking settings and have dial
automatically... but if disconnected will not automatically reconnect
so am guessing I need something more.

When I had Win95 I used this program. DUNCE v2.52

Bill,

Thanks for the recommendation! Do you have any tips on using this
software? Tried to download DUNCE but did not work as Susan said.

Susan,

Thanks for finding a working download for DUNCE!! I even did a search
but all the downloads did not work.

Can you share with us how you found a working one?

Thanks

Sure. *Most* links on the ACF pages come from posts made by other ACF
participants. This was an exception. I knew the old link had gone sour
and all it took was a quick FTP search to find a good link. This page
lists some FTP search engines:

I didn't try that address, it was on an old floppy I had. I searched all
over the net, and it looks like the freeware ones have broken links.
Sorry it wont work.

I found this, have never tried it.
