Couldn't find anything in the various Microsoft resources...

Is there a way on Windows 9x to programmatically determine if the user has a dialup adapter installed? Is there a way to determine if the dialup adapter is set to "auto-dial"?

About the Auto Dial, I am not quite sure. But to find out if they have a Dial Up Adapter installed, simply right click on "Network Neighborhood" and go into "Properties".

It will tell you there.

Unfortunately, I need more of a geeky answer. I need to be to figure this out in my code.

Microsoft does not appear to provide any sort of documented function for determining this...

from what I remember those features are handled from the IE window under the connections option
