     That's easy ... do this 

     Replace the command to dial out in VCONFIG with the name of the .BAT
... for example, using the usual fake directory/file names that you must
correct to fit your paths, etc:

:CALLOUT.BAT
@ECHO OFF
IF EXIST C:\STATUS.NET DEL C:\STATUS.NET
XCOPY /A C:\BBS\VNET\STATUS.NET C:\
IF EXIST C:\STATUS.NET GOTO END
VNET /DIAL1###-###-####
:END

     This checks the archive (a) attrib flag for STATUS.NET - a file that is
updated when a succesful connect is effected. XCOPY /A will only copy the
file IF it has the "a" attribute set. So the dialout will
only happen when there has been no updating of STATUS.NET (i.e., no successful
dialout).
     You can use this method any time you want to check for a successful
dialout and retry it if not done. Once it IS made, it will not dialout again
until you either give the VNET /DIAL command directly as before OR give the
command at some point: ATTRIB -a C:\STATUS.NET (added to your
daily_?) ... thus forcing the batchfile to think there has been no updating
(hence successful connect) and will try again.
     Mess around with it - it should work out.
