Looks like time for a FAQ-

Simplest (and my favorite way) is:

DECLARE INTEGER InternetAttemptConnect IN WinInet.dll INTEGER
?InternetAttemptConnect(0)


This function returns true if a connection was established. If you need more control over the DUN session, you can look at some other classes available: wwIPStuff from www.westwind.com, Christof Lange's Structure class from here in the files section, or one of several third party ($) tools.
