wwIPstuff's RASConnection methods only work in NT. THe low level functions it uses are defined differently in 95/98.

I think that this depends on what you are trying to do. Launch a web page or an e-mail yes, send a file FTP with low level wininet.dll functions, I'm not so sure.

Morys- if you are using NT, then I highly recommend wwIPSTuff. If not, you can launch a dial up connection with the following command syntax:

RUN /N Rundll Rnaui.dll,RnaDial myconnection

where myconnection is the name of the DUN connection.

I should add that initiating connection in this manner gives you no handle to hang up if you need to. It might be possible with API functions to get a handle on the connection, but I wouldn't know how.
