We have a modem terminal application written in VB6. It works great for what we need it to do, but there is a new requirement to initiate a VPN connection when dialing a particular provider. I’ve looked over some related posts and it looks like this may be possible using the RAS API. Can anyone suggest resources/advice for working with this API beyond MSDN?

Difficulty – .NET is not an option.

    This may not be as robust as you need, but I have called out to the system rasdial command in the past for simple situations where I needed to setup a VPN connection.

    USAGE:         rasdial entryname [username [password|*]] [/DOMAIN:domain]                 [/PHONE:phonenumber] [/CALLBACK:callbacknumber]                 [/PHONEBOOK:phonebookfile] [/PREFIXSUFFIX]          rasdial [entryname] /DISCONNECT          rasdial 

    Not industrial strength, but good to use in scripts and such.
