Howto install modem and setup internet dialer connection?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



I don't think I have quite hit the right group with this question, but can someone point me in the right direction please

I have a need to automate the installation and setup of an old style modem which connects via the serial port. I'm going to assume for the sake of argument that I know which COM port it's wired to on the PC, I then need to:

- setup a slightly modified 19,200 baud modem device with an AT initialisation string
- Add an internet connection to a known tel number with known username and password using this device
- Nice to have would be to put a shortcut to the connection on the desktop


I know all the config information so there is no need to prompt the user for anything, and I would like it to be all automatic so the customers can't make any mistakes...

Can someone please point me in the right direction to get moving on this. Win XP clients are assumed (but would be nice to support earlier versions), VB or .Net programming language would also be preferred, but C++ is ok.

Thanks
