Need some programing help.

Ok, I've been looking for a program that would monitor a DSL network connection and then dial out on a 56k modem if the connection is ever droped. It also needs to start a VPN after the dial out connection is made. I havent found any program that would do this, so I figured I would write my own. I have very little program experience, but I figured that this shouldnt be very hard to write.
I have a Visual C++ compiler, so if anyone wants to give me some pointers that would be great.
Thanks!!!
P.S. I'm using Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 if that helps.

Note: The free open source version does not have this functionality.
It doesnt sound that hard, but since I know little to nothing about programming then I cant say
I'm a hardware guy, not a software guru.
Look, in Windows, for a proxy or internet sharing software (WinProxy??). Write a routine that checks for ping results, like you said, and if not starts up something like winproxy. The problem you will then have, with windows, is switching back to DSL when it comes back up.
Linux can switch BACK using Smoothwall Corporate, by continuing to ping and then rerouting back to the NIC port for interent when port comes back up. Conclusion, cheap linux router is best.
You would think it wouldnt be hard for this to be a small stand alone piece of software.
