Apparently it is not a good idea to use Windows RAS functions to control the access because RAS has shown somewhat unstable sometimes leaving my machine in an undefined state (not connected but still impossible to re-connect etc), but even more because XS manager actually

• Changes parameters (like going from *99***1# to *99***2# every now and then)
• Has more information about the quality of the connection (UMTS, HSDPA, EDGE or GPRS and the reception level)

As there is no API, I did some Winspector spying and learned how to remotely control it. (I actually learned a lot from the people in this forum who made the winamp control - so thank you guys :-).

TXSman gives you complete control over XS Manager:

• Load it (specify path where to find it beforehand
• Get precise status information
• Connect / Disconnect
• Get a notification if status changes
• Get an extra notification if we go from say UMTS down to GPRS
• Keepalive-Function (re-connect if XS Manager drops it (this function is actually missing in XS Manager itself)

Features:

• Create and edit contacts and groups
• Grouping of contacts
• Editing contact's custom fields
• Unicode support for all text fields
• Batch storing of changes
• HTTPS support.

With Habari ActiveMQ Client, applications can connect to Apache ActiveMQ servers, subscribe to queues and topics, send and receive messages and objects, and work with transactions.

Here are some examples for software solutions built on top of a Message Broker like Apache ActiveMQ:

• Intranet News Ticker Application: using the publish and subscribe communication model, news can be delivered to all registered client applications. The message sender works like a broadcast station, and does not care if clients don't listen.
• Load Balancing: using the point-to-point or queuing model, many 'worker' applications can be installed on different computers. Every new message sent to the queue will be delivered only to one client. The server will keep messages until they are expired or delivered to a client.
• Persistent Storage: messages and objects can be stored in the Object Broker and retrieved even after a restart.
• Interprocess Communication: applications can use point-to-point messages to exchange information between each other even if the receiver currently is not running.

This version have included some fixes and improvements for modem connections.
