You should be able to add the insmod commands to the top of the "dial" script.

If not, create a new script with the insmod commands followed by the dial

and call it as dial2 or something like that.

Shouldn't. Not unless they are interactive. In that case, I'd use 'rxvt -ls

so that it is a login shell created in the xterm. That way you'll get all the
aliases and such set in /etc/profile.
