TIP Even though the Windows NT resources that Microsoft provides might seem outdated,
RAS really hasn??™t changed much from that early version of Windows. For example, the vast
majority of the information in the RAS Reference at http://www.microsoft.com/
resources/documentation/windowsnt/4/server/reskit/en-us/net/sur_ras.mspx
is just as useful today as when Microsoft first put it together. (Modems have admittedly gotten
faster, but the concepts remain the same.)
The following sections describe the RAS-specific tools included with Windows. However, these
utilities aren??™t the end of the story. To manage RAS functionality you must become familiar with the
NetSH utility. You??™ll find a discussion of this utility in the ???Scripting Networking Solutions with
the NetSH Utility??? section of Chapter 6. Finally, Microsoft provides many tools such as RASSrvMon
(RAS Server Monitor) that aren??™t available with Windows. You can download these tools at http://
www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9d467a69-57ff-4ae7-96eeb18c4790cffd.
Dialing Out with the RASDial Utility
Use the RASDial utility to determine the current RAS status, as well as dial out to a RAS server.
