HINT:
A RAS-Connection (phonebook entry) is established on the computer in order to be able to reach Internet Services, like WWW, eMail, Chat etc., by using an internal or external modem working as analog or ISDN device. The RAS-Manager replaces the multiple procedures when using windows dialogs, by a "all in one" dialog.
