I recently got cable internet through Time Warner/Road Runner. In addition, they provide a dialup service for when you're not home. They provide a dialer that you can download for all Windows operating systems EXCEPT WindowsCE. They don't provide any document that would tell you how to configure it yourself, either.

Would there be any way to do this? Has anyone done it?

If they provide information to allow you to dial in from a Windows desktop without using their dialer, it probably gives you the information you need to set up a connection on your device. Check their online tech support area to see if they have any documentation that allows for dial-up access using anything other than their dialer. It would give you information about server addresses, IP settings, and flow control settings. If you can't find anything about access without their dialer, you may be out of luck trying to connect without it.

If they are like Earthlink, the dialer is a convenience but connections can be made without it as long as the conncetion settings are correct. If they are like AOL, the dialer seems to be a necessary part of the connection process.
