Closing dial-up connection ?
[1/3] from: ronald:free at: 24-Oct-2001 14:07
Hi rebolers,
When I use Rebol for a mail sending task, it makes the dial up if the
connection is set to auto in W98, that's OK.
I'd like to automatically close my dial up modem connection after a rebol
task : how can I do that from Rebol ?
Cheers

If you don't have the /Pro or /Command you need an external
program to be called by a script. I suggest you RCL, for Win9x:
http://www.softnik.com/products/rcl/
RebolNet.BAT
=============
@Echo OFF
REM Calling REBOL starts the dial
D:\Rebol\view\rebol.exe yourscript.r
REM REBOL creates the following script to hang the phone
call Hang.BAT
yourscript.r
=============
REBOL[
]
;....
write %HANG.BAT "rcl -D"
This is not perfect, it's untested but should put you on the
way for the right solution.

Hi Mario,
Had some trouble since my question was posted, but thanks for your answer
The batch can't hang the phone, because it even hasn't got time to ring !!
I get this feedback : "No active RAS Connection"
Why does this happen ??
Here are the scripts I tested :
rem sms.bat
@Echo OFF
REM Calling REBOL starts the dial
C:\Rebol\view\rebol.exe sms.r
REM
call c:\windows\bureau\hang.bat
rem hang.bat
c:\windows\temp\rcl\rcl -D
I tried to use a call instruction before C:\Rebol\view\rebol.exe sms.r
expecting the bath to wait during the script working, but I get the same
answer.
Did I make something wrong ?
