installing a dial up connection programatically

[Neil]

I would like a program to install of a dial
up network connection (as in the make new connection
wizard) with my predefined properties.

I am deploying a software package from a CD ROM that
requires a dial up connection and I would like to be able
to install the dial up connection automatically so my
users do not have to go thru the wizard.

Anyone have any ideas are appreciated?

Answer:

Yes, there is a way to do this. You can write a simple C program which uses
the RasApi32 APIs. The primary one being RasSetEntryProperties. You can look
into MSDN on this for more info:

The RASENTRY structure let's you customize your connection properties for
you.
