In theory you could dial out to an ISP on the front panel of your phone, but how you'd get the phone to connect is a different matter. What are you attempting to do mate?

Hi,

What I want to do is establish a Telnet session via the company RAS server. I know that the Telnet application will call up the connection dialogue, but sometimes, I want to be able to start the connection before the application (don't ask why).

Can you not use the dialler app to establist a connection with the server before running telnet. Though it would seem more sensible to dial out from telnet as this would save on valuable memory as I see it.
