Controlling Dial Up Networking using the WinInet API
This article explains the basics of controling your DUN([D]ial [U]p [N]etworking) via the WinInet API Function. It covers determining if there is an active connection, connecting and disconnecting from the internet.
Demonstration of Network API capabilities
This example shows how to retrieve various network information
for your and other PCs on the network, while hiding the
incredible complexity of it by wrapping the API calls into a
nice object hierarchy. The code list all PCs in your domain.
Then for each one it retrieves the following: * Local Groups
(e.g. Administrators, Guests, etc...) * Global Groups *
Scheduled Jobs * Network Sessions * Shared Resources (shared
drives, printers, etc...) * Installed Transports (TCP/IP,
netbios, etc...) * Network Connections (including mapped
drives) * Local Disks * Local Users and Details on each user.

MSCOMM control troubleshooting guide & tutorial.
My background is in writing extensive serial communication
programs. Most of them were written using MSCOMM communications
control that has shipped with VB since version 2.0. Thus, I see
(and get asked) the same questions over and over again. In the
same vein, same mistakes are committed countless times. This
tutorial is a compilation of many emails I've exchanged with
programmers around the world, as well as an attempt to address
these issues, so that they do not trip others. The question
usually goes like this: I've tried everything, but the data is
not getting through or MSCOMM is not working. Let me assure
you, MSCOMM is the most bug-free component that Microsoft has
ever released. The problem is your code, your hardware, and
your connections. In other words, the problem is YOU.
TAPI Wrapper
If you ever wanted to use your PC as an enhanced phone, you've
Definetely run into TAPI: Telephony Application Programmers
Interface. Normally, the domain of C/C++ programmers, this
wrapper code will allow you to skip all the complexity and get
to work straight away
