Schedule Connection

I need to schedule a dial up connection. The reason is I have a java script that fires on a scheduled basis in the middle of the night and needs the connection. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about writing java scripts myself, so modifications to the script won't work. I was hoping that by setting the automatic connect options it would connect as needed, and then terminate after not being used for 20 minutes. This solution works great with IE, but doesn't fire when the java script attempts to connect. What I'm thinking the solution would be is to have a script that connects without any user intervention and then calling the script from the windows scheduler. I have tried to find some information on scripting but what I've found doesn't seem to answer my questions. Any suggestions?
