Help with modem access through VB

[Mavors]

I am trying to automate a process that dials up a system through the modem to modem connection. It needs to provide a User Login name, then a password. After successful login then I can transfer a file and logout.

I know a script of some sort will do this, but I am unsure where to start.

I am new to this sort of processing so any tips or information anyone can give will be greatly appreciated

Thanx in advance,

If TAPI libraries are installed on your machine, you can easily dial a number from a VB application using a single API call. Here's a function that encapsulates the call and that returns True if the dialing was successful:

Private Declare Function tapiRequestMakeCall Lib "TAPI32.DLL" (ByVal Dest As _
String, ByVal AppName As String, ByVal CalledParty As String, _
ByVal Comment As String) As Long

' make a phone call using TAPI
' return True if successfull

Function PhoneCall(ByVal PhoneNumber As String, ByVal DestName As String, _
Optional ByVal Comment As String) As Boolean
If tapiRequestMakeCall(Trim$(PhoneNumber), App.Title, Trim$(DestName), _
Comment) = 0 Then
PhoneCall = True
End If
End Function

This code works on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4 SP3 or later, and Windows 2000, and requires TAPI 1.3 libraries or a later version.
