Microsoft Windows NT, 2000, XP  provide  very  useful  utility  to manage
RAS-connections from the command line. It can be used to establish remote
(dial-up)  connection and to terminate it from BAT-script. Windows 95, 98
and Me have not such utility.

RASDw9x  is  designed  specially for Windows 9x and Me, but it works with
Windows NT/2000  fine  too. It allows to get a list of available RAS-con-
nection entries,  to open specified RAS-connection and to close specified
or all active RAS-connections from the command line.Every time it returns
a termination code to the operation system.

INSTALLATION.  Extract  the  RASDw9x  distributive  package  files to any
folder  that  is  in  the  PATH  variable  of  the environment described.
A  good  idea  is  to place them to the WINDOWS\COMMAND folder if you use
Windows 9x/ME.

USAGE. Type in the command line "RASDw9x" and follow it a command:
LIST       - if you want to get list of available RAS-connection entries,
CONNECT    - if you want to establish a RAS-connection,
DISCONNECT - if you want to close an active connection.

After  the  commands  CONNECT and DISCONNECT you must specify the name of
the RAS-connection. DISCONNECT  allows  to specify "asterisk" if you want
to  terminate  all  active  connections.  CONNECT needs keys /u and /p to
specify user name and password respectively. If  none  of  the connection
parameters  is  specified, the user name, password and domain will be got
from the RAS-connection entry.

You  can  choose  the  language  of  the  diagnostic  messages  using key
/language  (English and Russian languages are available), or disable them
using key /slient.

Run the utility RASDw9x without any keys to get a short help-screen.

Note that you must enclose the name of connection and other parameters in
quotes if they contain a space character.
