I'm not sure about reliance but you should be able to use rasdial in a batch file to automate the login. Unless you absolutely need to use the reliance client to connect, you should be able to create your own dialer and use rasdial with it.

For XP:

> Control Panel
> Network and Internet Connections
> Network Connections
> left hand side under Network Tasks > Create a New Connection

Batch file would be something like

@ECHO OFF
TITLE whatever
start /MIN rasdial "CONNECTION NAME" username password

1. Quotes " " are necessary.
2. Capitalize the connection name, in the batch file and in Network Connections because sometimes it doesn't connect if the name is not capitalized.

Then use task scheduler to schedule this batch file to run at startup or drag a shortcut to the batch file into the startup folder in Start Menu > All Programs > Startup.
