Bob,

Refer to the section "To Create a Two-way VPN Connection to the Remote
Office". This talks about how to associate an interface with a routing entry
so that connection will be established when the traffic starts flowing. This
should ideally support your case.

Even otherwise, doesn't rasdial.exe provide you the facility to dial the
connection from command line? I don't know JScript but I think there should
be a way to invoke rasdial.exe from JScript.
