    There is a master server enable switch as well as individual line on/off
    switches. When you use RASCNTL_SERVER_GET_STATUS, it will return both the
    master switch setting as well as the invidividual line settings. When you
    write "i read the bEnabled value as 0", are you referring to the bEnable
    within the RASCNTL_SERVERSTATUS structure (which is the master server
    switch), or the bEnable within a RASCNTL_SERVERLINE structure?

    Note that the RASCNTL_SERVER_ENABLE IOCTL is used to enable the master
    server switch.

    Unless the defaults are acceptable, you will need to set up the baud rate,
    etc in the DeviceConfig blob. The sample code in
    public\common\oak\drivers\netsamp\rasserver\unimodemutil.c demonstrates how
    the speed can be set programatically. Here is a link to more info on this:
