Our company is looking for a new ISP (our current ISP is UUNET) to host dial-up accounts for our traveling and remote employees. I'd like to spare our employees the necessity of looking up access numbers before they travel. Do you know of any Tier 1 providers that provide a client-side dial-up utility with this type of functionality?

UUNET's Phone Access Lookup (PAL) application—which works with Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows 9x—provides such a feature. I've used PAL and like it. (You can download the application from http://www.uu.net/us/products/access/dial/solo/paldialer.) AT&T Global Network Services (formerly IBM Global Network) also has this type of dial-up application. The most recent version of the AT&T Global Network Dialer works with Win2K.
