Initiate a RAS connection from cmd line?
Is it possible to make a RAS connection (using a pre-existing entry in the rasphone.pbk) from the command line?
I believe that only Windows 2000 has a command-line tool to do this (NETSH), but Windows NT doesn't.

Actually the cmd to connect or disconnect was
rasdial "ENTRY" user password
rasdial "ENTRY" /disconnect
but rasphone got me looking in the right place.
Thanks schmiegu!

Actually I am using this batch to connect to our tunnel server over the internet:
@echo off
rasphone -h "A-Online PULS" #hang up to be sure the connection isn't in use while dialling
rasphone -d "A-Online PULS" # connect to internet
rasphone -d BILLA # connect to tunnel
I will check for rasdial (it's possible, but not very likely, that in german versions of NT rasphone replaces rasdial)

Using rasphone -d "My Entry" , pops up a connection prompt dlg box requiring user interaction. The machines I needed to connect are remote with no users.
I am not aware of any difference here in the German version.
