So as you have just read this only works on Windows - you are free to port this library to any other OS BETA currently supports. You want to develop a BETA application that automatically connects via modem to your ISP? This is quite simple. Because the documentation would not fit here I have uploaded the documentation and the library to the following URL: http://www.developer.tricos.com/betacentral/ras.html Have a look - give it a try. This is much simpler than you may have guessed :-) Comments and feedback always welcome! If someone is capable of testing this LIBRARY on Windows 95/NT/2000 I would be glad to hear if everything works fine - I only tested this on Windows 98 with IE 5.01 installed. But this library is independent of the OS Version, I just want to know if it works on the other Windows versions as well - especially if it runs on Windows 2000! Thanks in advance for your feedback.
