>To call the default Windows dialup you can use InternetAutodial WinInet API function Re: How to call dialup networking connection from within Fox Message #787301. To check for existing connection try Re: Can I truly check for Internet connection? Message #724761

I ended up with two functions. One to check if connected and the other to fire the connection manager:

* Verify if we are connected to the Internet
* expC1 A Web address
FUNCTION IsConnected
PARAMETERS tcWebAddress
LOCAL llConnect
Declare Integer InternetCheckConnection in Wininet.dll String Url, Long dwFlags, Long Reserved
llConnect=InternetCheckConnection(tcWebAddress,1,0)>0


* Initiating Inet connection using a modem
FUNCTION ConnectToTheInternet
LOCAL lnConnection 
#DEFINE INTERNET_AUTODIAL_FORCE_ONLINE         1 
#DEFINE INTERNET_AUTODIAL_FORCE_UNATTENDED     2 
#DEFINE INTERNET_AUTODIAL_FAILIFSECURITYCHECK  4 

DECLARE INTEGER GetActiveWindow IN user32 

DECLARE INTEGER InternetDial IN wininet; 
 INTEGER hwndParent, STRING lpszConnectoid, INTEGER dwFlags,; 
 INTEGER @lpdwConnection, INTEGER dwReserved 

lnConnection=0 

InternetDial(GetActiveWindow(),'MyProvider',INTERNET_AUTODIAL_FORCE_ONLINE,@lnConnection,0)

Do you see anything to enhance in there?
