Cool software for the Internet.

The Internet starts with a connection, and for a lot of folks it is still dial-up. FlexibleSoft has a cool dialer program that has a bunch of extra features the regular dialer (the one that comes with Windows) does not. This multi-functional dialer allows you to connect to the Internet with one click from the system tray. The program monitors your connection, and automatically redials a new number from the list if you're not allowed or bumped off-line. The application displays the amount of time you spent on-line in addition to current connection speed.

FlexibleSoft Dialer II can automatically open a number of applications once the connection is established. For example, it'll run your browser and e-mail client, and instantly close them once you're off-line. Excellent for downloading, you can also schedule connections and disconnections for certain times, including off-peak hours. FlexibleSoft Dialer II is loaded with extra features, such as a tool that synchronizes your PC clock with timeservers on the Internet. There's also a Keep Alive function that prevents your ISP from disconnecting you. FlexibleSoft Dialer II keeps the statistics for each on-line session to be later exported as Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. The program also features hotkey support, automatic total cost calculator (that allows you to input variable fees for different hours of the day or days of the week), and other cool options.
