Greetings, fellow monks. I seek to implement a program to dial and test many numbers. Alas, I have been instructed to implement it in a Win32 environment, which is not my strong area. I will need to dial, connect and perform various tests. The testing I know well, but the mechanics of dialing in this enviroment are arcane to me.

If I cannot do this in Perl, I will need to do it in Visual C++ (so sayeth the powers that be) which I really don't want to do. So I ask of you, can you direct me to modules that might be of assistance for this, or perhaps known scripts that perform similar functions that I could study? All I need to learn, really, is how to dial and make a PPP connection in this environment.

Thank you.
