Api for creating "Incoming Connection"

NTDEV
1

Hi,

I would like to know if there is any API for programmatically creating
an “Incoming Connection” over a virtual COM port.

Basically this can be done manually by the user through the Network
Connection wizard by selecting “Accept Incoming Connections”. This
creates a PPP link over serial so that any external device can access
the internet through the host m/c.

Let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Look at RasXxx remote access APIs.

It seems RAS api can be used to create client applications. It is mentioned
in msdn docs:
The Remote Access Service is applicable in any computing environment that
uses a Wide Area Network (WAN) link or a Virtual Private Network (VPN).

I am basically looking to create an “Incoming Connection to the PC” but not
outgoing over a virtual COM port programmatically instead of going through
the Network Connection wizard. My USB device should be able to get a PPP
connection through my desktop and be able to access the internet.

Thanks.
