On Linux you can use the "Diald" program to dynamically dial modem
connections.  However you may receive a time-out on the first request from
mythtfilldatabase to grab the schedule (time for modem to dial, handshake,
etc).  You may find you'll have to schedule the demand dialer (either Diald
or Windows internet sharing) to connect first (like 3am) then run
mythfilldatabase after it is connected to the net.
