' Global Connection Handle, Passed Back to Disconnection and Status
Public lConnection As Integer
Public Function RASDialOnly() As Integer

' Set sConnectionEntry equal to your dial-up connection name
' Set SapphireRASLicence with your Licence Number unless Demo DLL
RASDialOnly = sRASDialOnly(sConnectionEntry, sUsername,
sPassword, sDomain, lConnection, SapphireRASLicence)
End Function


Public Function RASHangUp() As Integer
RASHangUp = sRASHangUp(lConnection)
End Function

Public Function RASStatus() As Integer
RASStatus = sRASStatus(lConnection)
End Function

Public Function RASCurrentConn() As String
Dim sConnName As String = Space(40)
sRASCurrentConn(lConnection, sConnName)
RASCurrentConn = StripString(sConnName)
End Function
