Description

The DialUp method attempts to establish or end a dial-up session by dialing the phonebook entry pointed to by varConnectionName. The phonebook entry must already exist in your Dial-Up Networking preferences before running the step.

 

If intAction is set to “0”, AutoMate™ will attempt to find a connection already made using varConnectionName and, if found, will try to disconnect the session. If this can be done successfully, the step returns “1.” Otherwise, it returns “0.”

 

If intAction is set to “1”, AutoMate™ will attempt to start a dial-up session using the parameters of the phonebook entry varConnectionName. If the connection is established, the method returns “1.” Otherwise, it will return “0.”
