I guess the simplest way to do this would be a cron-job that kills diald
at 9 and restarts it at 5 :)
As for all the sudden dialling, I've had problems with that too while
running diald. It would just suddenly dial, and would not hang up after
long times with no network activity (i was looking with tcpdump). Also, it
is quite irritating that diald redials when you close netscape... I'm
switching diald for masqdial (or whatever it is called), where you have
a lot better control over what is actually going on. In case you weren't
aware, there are masqdial clients for windows. If you don't know what this
is, search on freshmeat.net :)
