Automating Soup Packet delivery

this isn't totally a Yarn question, but I didn't know where else to check.
I'm on the road quite a bit, and can only dial in to my ISP once a day or
so. Many of the newsgroups I subscribe to get purged pretty frequently from
my ISP's news server. What I'd like to do is set up my home machine to dial
into my ISP, download the news from the various groups to SOUP packets, and
store them for me to later pick up by dialing into my home machine.

I have a script to download the packets, but what I need is a way to
automate the dialup process, wait for the batch file to finish, the
disconnect the DUN connection.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm using Win95b with WSH installed,
if that helps. I'm tinkering with it (Windows Scripting Host), but I'm not
good enough with it to handle DUN stuff.

Thanks in advance for any help.
