NDial32

NDial32 is a handy little tool that lets you connect to a dial-up server using either a DOS or Windows command line. It's super straightforward to use, and once you get the hang of it, you'll find it really useful!

How to Use NDial32

The command line for this program is pretty simple. You set it up like this:

ndial32 connection,domain,username,password

For instance, let’s say you have a server named INet. If your domain is inet.net, your username is myname, and your password is mypwd, you'd type something like:

ndial32 INet,inet.net,myname,mypwd

Create Batch Files with NDial32

You can even combine NDial32 with the START program and its “/wait” option. This makes it great for building batch files. For example, if you want to check your email automatically, your batch file might look like this:

start /w ndial32 INet,inet.net,myname,mypwd

start /w c:\windows\inet\weudora.exe

hang32 INet

Disconnecting with NHang32

The last part of that command list uses the disconnect utility called nhang32 INet. This utility helps you end your connection from the command line. Just type in nhang32.exe, followed by the connection name as shown above. If everything goes well, your connection will be closed.

Your Go-To Connection Tool!

If you're looking for a simple way to connect and disconnect from dial-up servers using commands, then NDial32 could be just what you need! Give it a try and see how easy managing connections can be!
