Two other options that I know:
1. 'dialmon' http://www.quaking.demon.co.uk does a very nice job here for
this exactly.
2. As I understand, you should be able to use 'dctrl' on Windows PCs after
setting up the Tcl/Tk-environment. I must admit, I have installed Tcl/Tk but
haven't found out what to do next :-(
Anybody else can help with that?

Michael
