Dialup Connection

Hi,

Can anyone advise how I can automate establishing a dialup connection.

I want a client computer, after a reboot, to dialup Internet service provider & connect with VNC server software, to my VNC (listening) daemon.

If you're using Windows XP you can use the command "Rasdial.exe"

USAGE:
    rasdial entryname [username [password|*]] [/DOMAIN:domain]
        [/PHONE:phonenumber] [/CALLBACK:callbacknumber]
        [/PHONEBOOK:phonebookfile] [/PREFIXSUFFIX]

    rasdial [entryname] /DISCONNECT

    rasdial

We have enough youth. How about a fountain of SMART?

Or just use RNAHelp

a simple program to connect/disconnect dialup connections.

Thanks, I tried it.

It only worked on Windows 98SE but not on Windows XP PRO SP2.

Thanks, that's a good solution.

Set Internet Explorer options to autodial, and use inetget on a trivial page with the cache refresh option.

Thank you for your reply.

I thought of that one, and so far it's possibly the only one that will work across various operating systems, but it seems like a "percussive" solution i.e. smacking with a big hammer.

Someone must have a "scripting/programing" solution to access a feature built into the operating system.
