No, but if we get an answer that has a timing and connect sniffer involved,

 EG> has anyone out there  written a cmd file or rexx
 EG> program  to  terminate or suspend binkleyterm and dial 
 EG> out to their ISP  to  collect email , newsgroups etc 
 EG> and then restore binkleyterm ??

I'd like some help too.

I run a batch file that relogs DHCP on drop from my cable ISP, and subsequently 
puts IFIRE back up.

What I can't figure out how to do, sorta like you, but with nailed up 
broadband, is determine I've been dropped, from the command or REXX 
file,autokill IJFIRE< and loop back up to the re-connect start of the command 
file...

If nobody responds here I'll post it as a separate thread...
