I hope this may be an appropriate group to which to pose this (simple!?) 
question:
How do I program a dial-up connection in BCB6? I.e., to an ISP where I have 
an account.

I have searched BCB6 Help and documentation and can find nothing about this 
level of connection; all the examples of ftp, mail, etc. work over an 
existing IP connection but seem to provide no way of making this connection 
if it is not there (and do not even detect this condition, it seems).

Can I either call one of the existing Network Connections from my program or 
otherwise write the code to do this, or is there a component somewhere to do 
this with appropriate parameters. My ISP (BT Yahoo) provides a highly 
protected dialler that may or may not prove too restrictive.

Thanks.
