Actually Yahoo Messenger will do that for you anyway. Several times I've been driving my car and all of a sudden I get the Yahoo Messenger "sound" stating that I'm connected. Not sure about MSN. I haven't touched that program (my program) since I started it as I've been working on other things. But play with Yahoo, I think it will work for you. There might even be a setting as to how often it checks for an active connection.
You might think about using the SSID of "ANY" if your around a lot of different "free" hot spots and not just the Seattle Wireless, you just have to be aware that you may end up connecting to an "open" AP, such as one set with all the defaults and not really meaning to be a free hot spot.
Thanks,
Jay
