Looking for programs to push connect button on Dial-Up connection

[whayface]

Years ago when I was using a dial-up connection before going to a DSL service I had a
small program that would push the connection button for me and if I got disconnected it
would automatically reconnect me to my ISP.

I am setting up a dial-up connection to my DSL service (SBC/YAHOO) on my daughter's system
so when I babysit and was trying to find that program but for the life of me can not
remember it!! I do remember there was a free version and a GOLD version which was
payware.

Can someone help me out here and point me to it ar a similar program. Daughter is running
Win 98SE in case someone asks.

Thanks much.

Button Pusher

Push That Freakin' Button (PTFB)
(Freeware) (last freeware version)
Windows OS: Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000
Languages: English
Description: Push the Freakin' Button (or PTFB for short) is a button
pressing utility. PTFB runs in the background - usually its only
on-screen presence is a mouse-shaped task bar icon. When a dialog causes
irritation, you simply tell PTFB which button should be pressed, and it
will handle the dialog in future. By default, PTFB is cautious - a
dialog has to be a perfect match for its hitlist entry before any
buttons will be pressed. But it can be set to be less strict, allowing a
range of similar dialogs to be handled from one hitlist entry. Main
Features: Simple drag-drop interface for adding buttons to the
"hit-list". Buttons will only be pressed once per appearance - no
pressing frenzy if button does not dismiss the dialog. Task bar icon for
easy access and notification of impending button press. Configurable
press delay and three methods of identifying potential targets.

Thanks for reply. Done of them look like the prog I had. The one I had would
automatically reconnect me to my ISP if the connection got broke.

Windows can do that all by itself. I no longer have DUN so can't check
but it would either be in the properties of the connectoid itself and/or
"Connections" in "Internet Options" in Control panel. IIRC, I had the
latter set to "Never dial"...click an URL or anything needing a
connection and the connectoid would pop up and dial. Ditto if the
connection were broken.

NetLaunch?

Be sure and download Version 3.14E for a Win98 machine. The new version only
works in XP.

Don't know of a program, this may help.

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Internet Options >
Connections > Settings > Advanced, make sure > Disconnect
if idle, is unticked.
