1.how do i create an internet dialer(dial up) like the one windows uses to connect to the internet?  
2.Are there free vbcontrols there to make this task much simpler?

thanks in advance

www.vbcode.com

can provide you with info on dial ups.
if you find the code you need, and decide that you still want an activeX control to make it simpler, then post back and i'll help you.
