Kent:

AOL and the Dial-up Networking in Windows knows how to read the
registry to launch your dialer.  Java doesn't get to look there.  If
you could figure out a way to launch DUN from a command line, you
could use Runtime.exec().  I've been poking around for a few months on
this one with no help from MS.  DUN seems to be launched by calling
into a .dll with a key that comes from one or more places in the
registry.  MS isn't forthcoming on this one.

Good Luck!

If you see something that looks like an opinion up there,
it's mine and mine alone.

a better chance if you confine your posts to the newsgroups
