 Hi David,

 % exec rasdial.exe ...

 it's a commandline tool, at least here on WinNT.  It doesn't iterate
 phonebooks, though, which is a shame.  There's also rasphone.exe which =
 pops up
 a dialog for what entry to dial.  It isn't blocking (it exits before it's
 done).  It probably won't be so user-friendly to exec from Tcl.

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

         rasdial [entryname] /DISCONNECT

         rasdial

 If knowledge is power, how come the more I learn, the more I realize how =
 much I don't know?
 That isn't very empowering.
