I am looking for the .exe that is responsible for executing an initial dial up connection. I am creating an automated process in VB6. Many thanks to repliers

whatever you are looking for, it most probably will not be a standalone application. so probably it will turn out to be a DLL of some kind.

You did not mention in which environment your application will be running. So on WinNT/2K check documentation on the RAS API at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/network/ras_port_65k5.htm] (http://www.winguides.com/external.php?url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/network/ras_port_65k5.htm])
But depending on what your application is, maybe the TAPI API is what you are looking for, see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/tapi3/tapiovr1_7juf.htm (http://www.winguides.com/external.php?url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/tapi3/tapiovr1_7juf.htm)
But if you are using COM+ objeczs or want to access the Internet (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/rras/iphpport_7vz9.htm (http://www.winguides.com/external.php?url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/psdk/rras/iphpport_7vz9.htm)), then dial-up will be an implicit function, using predefiined stuff (Internet Options).
