Worked fine for me on Win 98, very nice!

Would you like to put all that code into 3 global routines? 
Say:
   function ras_is_connected()
   function ras_dial(number, name, password)
   procedure ras_hangup()

IMHO this would be actually useful together with the programs for
downloading files, that are already in the archieves.

A code snippet that uses the 3 routines could look something like this:

integer tries, try
boolean connected_self

connected_self = FALSE
if not ras_is_connected() then
   tries = 3
   try = 1
   while ras_dial(123, "me", "hi") do
      if try >= tries then
         err_abort("Dial up not successfull")
      end if
      try += 1
      sleep(1)
   end while
   connected_self = TRUE
end if

[do this and that on the internet]

if connected_self then
   ras_hangup()
end if
