I tried it. It seems to call PPP with the parameter 'COM1'. But Binkley
already opened this port. Because, in fact, it works as i have described in
my last message, it does not work. The result : 'Cannot open com port ...'.

Actually i am testing around with a Telnet program which seems to be able
to take over a com port handle. Maybe on this way i will be able to
establish a PPP session.
