Controlling diald remotely

Greetings,

I'm looking for a better solution to control diald from a remote client.
Something that works for Windows and Linux preferred but a Linux only
solution would also be acceptable.  The ability to handle multiple ISP's
would also be good.

I'm currently using dialmon but it's a Windows client only solution and
I've been having trouble with multiple instances of diald being
(intermittently) launched on the server.

I've seen references that dctrl can be used from a remote host but there
doesn't appear to be much documentation on how to configure the
client/server to do this.

Any help/directions would be appreciated.

Cheer's,
Rod
