Shutdown DUN connection

[SStory]

How can I, from an external program, shut down a Dial Up Network or whatever
it is called in XP, connection?

The two computers (icon in the tray).

I wish to be able to send a disconnect and cause that program to exit
memory.

I have a program that automates my ISP connect experience and loads all
appropraite programs etc and for the most part shutsdown but don't know how
to do this last step.

Thanks,

Shane

you can use the shell command to run the RASDIAL [connectionname]
/DISCONNECT

ie shell("rasdial myisp /disconnect")
