Introduction

I have written dial-up dialer for connection to Internet providers. This is a simple little program that dials your modem and tracks your online time. It also allows the user to setup multiple dial in numbers and gives the user a basic settings screen.

The sourcecode is freeware and can be distributed under terms of GPL. It is written in Visual C++ with use of MFC, RAS API and several other APIs like Performance Counters and multimedia API. Contact me if you have any suggestions on this software (lamer2000@hotmail.com) or on this article (alexander.fedorov@usa.net).

Yes! BUT your source code downloaded is from nov.14.1999 !!! And it is totally full with bugs! It is not equal to the newest exe vesrion. Why don't put to here the true source version for downloading. In this form the downloaded source code unethically bamboozle!

In my situation there is one 'server' (Win2000) and there are numerous 'clients' (Win95/98/ME/NT/2000). Both server and clients have modems, but no internet connection.

Now the question is very simple (even though haven't found a simple answer yet): how can I send a file from the server to a client using the modems? I've looked at RAS, TAPI and other complicated stuff Confused | :confused:

, but surely there must be an EASY way to do this.

Looking at your app it's almost what I'd like to build. I just have to be able to write a service for the 'clients' to pick up the phone and then somehow send the file over the established connection... Any ideas?

Structured programming vs. chaotic mind boggling

Well, I've figured uit how to do it the 'easy' way and I've implemented it as well. It works pretty nicely. Here's what I did:

I took the MSComm ActiveX object and put it in my project. Looking at the functionality I wasn't happy yet, so I built my own wrapper around it.
Next I made connection via the modem by sending simple AT-commands throught the MSComm object to the COM ports like 'ATDT37' for calling the telephone number 37. I did have some problems using the ISDN modems, but found that using 'ATB20DT37' solved these problems...

Both my client and server application use the MSComm, topped off with a synchronous communication protocol I wrote myself. The system is now operational, sending thousands of files to about 20 clients throughout the country.

Thanks for your input, though!

I wish to know how is it that I can just use the Entry Name of a DUN without needing to input the User Name and Password. I want DUN's currently saved user name and password to be used instead. In the MSDN documentation, it is from my understanding that if the szUserName and szPassword of the RASDIALPARAMS is set to "", the default saved value will be used. Trying it out in my own program didn't work. Neither did Alexander's dialer work.

Can anyone shed a light here?

Thanks...

my application event log was fully filled when run the program
