How can I schedule a task that disconnects my dial-up
connection at a specific time?

I would probably use tlist.exe or pulist.exe to check for
the presence of a task whose name contains the string
"RAS", then use kill.exe to kill that task. I cannot test
this on my machine since I no longer use modems.

tlist.exe, pulist.exe and kill.exe are included with the
Win2000 Resource Kit.

use the rasdial.exe (comes with windows 2000) command:

rasdial [entryname] /DISCONNECT

replace 'entryname' with the modem connection name from
the network settings (My Network Places > properties).

Thank you both! I chose the 2nd one since it doesn't need
the resource kit.
Cool
