Batch sent X10 command

Can someone point me to as simple as possible a program controlled method of causing a CM11/12 etc type serial port controller (it's actually an ACT TI103 so it has no local memory or local macro capability) to send X10 commands from a Windows XP computer.

My DSL line periodically drops in a mode which requires the modem to be power cycled to reconnect. To made this automatic I want to use DynDNS Updater's feature of "run a program when public address can not be found" to trigger some Windows program which will send a power OFF and 5 seconds later a power ON to an appliance module ahead of the modem. Right now I can perform this manually via a phone call and touch tone commands to an X10 telephone responder

but automation of this process would be a great help in keeping my home servers and webcams on line when I am away from home.

Any thoughts and advice will be greatly appreciated.
