If you decide to write your own methods, pull up WIN32.HLP and search
for RAS.  It looks pretty complicated to me.  I just put up a message
box asking the user if they are connected. (They don't do it very
often, so no big deal.)

I think Indie does what you want. Posters who know Indie and other
fine internet products and methods usually hang out at
borland.public.cppbuilder.internet.
