You could probably implement it using ARexx. One way would be to have an ARexx
macro that would call up a file requester, presenting you with a list of named
files. Within each file would be the phone number, baud rate, and any other
settings you might want to use. Selecting a file by name, the macro would then
proceed to parse the file, setting VLT up, and dialling the modem. You could
build in virtually any other features you want, including auto-login,
auto-redial, dial from list, etc.

If I used VLT I would probbaly throw something like this together.

NeXT. The hardware makes it a PC. The software makes it a workstation.
      The units shipped makes it a mainframe.  -=stolen from Hazy=-
