Serial Extender and PPP sessions

Keywords:    PPP

Question:

With DUN/RAS you can have a terminal window pop-up after connecting. I spent a day trying to SENDKEY to send keys to this window and NOTHING (winactivate, skto, ect..) worked. I was wondering, could I use the serial extender to send keystrokes to my PPP session ?

Answer:

The Serial extender will not support the PPP protocol required. It's more for the old-style terminal programs/BBS kind of stuff.

Try downloading the control manager extender and run the window analysis script when the terminal window is being displayed.

Or.....

Try using the WinSock Internet Extender functions:

DunConnect, DunConnectEx, DunDisconnect, DunItemize
