Unregistered version has full functionalities.

What's New in Version 2.0
-------------------------
- Modem Event.
- Connected Modem speed.
- IP address if using TCP/IP.
- Detecting dial.386 driver using ACTION property.
--------------------------------------------------

RASCONN.VBX has custom properties for ID, password, phone number, and more.
It has custom events to notify Connection status and error.  RASCONN.VBX has
custom "methods" in the form of the ACTION Property to perform Connect and 
Disconnect.  Finally it allows you to automate TTY terminal login with 
the use of a *.sr file.  You must have Shiva-Client installed on your machine
in order to use this VBX.  One good way to test whether Shiva-Client is
properly installed is by trying to connect using CONNECTW.EXE.
