I don't know if this is what you're looking for in this particular
case, but I have made a tiny DLL to make it easier to call the Win32
RAS functions from REBOL/Command without all the annoying
Win32 structs.
The DLL currently has function wrappers for RasDial, RasHangup and
RasGetConnectStatus. You can find the source for the DLL here:
http://www.d.kth.se/~d95-mjo/rebol/dlltest.cpp
and the /Command example script here:
http://www.d.kth.se/~d95-mjo/rebol/dialup_example.r
I've only tested it in Win98 and Win2000, but it seems to work.
Obviously, this requires the /Command experimental version for
Win9x/NT/2000. :-)
