Re: CMAK or configuration for VPN?

By the way, the kicker: this has to support new users who have never
logged on to the laptop or domain before, which means their profile doesn't
yet exist on the PC. I.e., I need to pre-define the dial and VPN
IDs/passwords for new users.

Dial-up network allows me the option to save the default IDs and passwords,
but when I dial as a logged-out user, it overwrites those with Windows
defaults.

BTW, I've been playing with CMAK (what lousy documentation!). Where can I
find phonebook entries? Do I need them to launch the dial-up link? I
already have a VPN and dial-up session defined -- all I need to do is
control the &^%$&^%$ defaults.
