IMHO the ability to connect to or disconnect from
the
network connection is something one should be able
to do from a script. Of course that still leaves
the
question of which system functions the implementor
chooses to use to implment it.
Anyway, I am stillleft with the problem of getting
a connection in some way. Even (my copy of) Win98
does not have an 'Automatic Connection' button and
insists on some sort of user intervention.
I am looking into the RASDial(...) function which
appears to do the job, but the documentation is
obscure. I had just hoped that someone had trod
the
path before me. Heh Ho.
