Boo, what kind of a hacker are you ;)
Ok, lets try it this way....
Write a script that is run by cron.
At the time when the ports become available for general use, it goes into
the pm, and changes their port type, so that they become available for dial
in, as opposed to dial out.
At the time when the ports become unavailable, change them from dial in to
dial out, and reset the port to kick off whoever is on it.
Of course, I would need to know a little more about your environment to
make certain that this would work.
