RasInTask? - What is RasInTask

About RasInTask

RasInTask is a little tool wich places itself in the System tray where you can run all in your system installed connections from a cool PopUp-Menu
But that's not all: RasInTask has some nice extra-features. (* stands for new in version 1.1)

Some of the follwing screenshots are made with the german language activated...

This PopUp-Menu shows all the connections that are installed in your system. With only one click you can begin to dial. With some minimal configuration in the option-screen you can even dial without opening the Menu. RasInTask can handle more that one connection at the same time (*).
RasInTask is multilingual. If you prefer german (the main-language) or english. RasInTask "understands" both of the languages. More and better translations are planned if they are finished, they can be integrated into RasInTask wihtout having the author to compile a new release (*). Interesting: RasInTask changes the language without making you restarting the tool.
This is a part of the clear settings-dialog. Is changeing some options with the Microsoft DUN-Applet a easy as it is with RasInTask? Decide yourself and download the program!
What happens if you connect? RasInTask knows the answer! Every time you connect, the program will bring a window to the screen that displays the type of data that is transferred between you and your provider.
RasInTask can much more: Here are the tree tabs in the settings-dialog that contain options you can set for every connection. As you can see, there are listed some features that Microsoft does not implement (not even in Win98). There are so many new Features in the current version of RasInTask that placing a new screenshot here would destroy the layout (too wide)(*)!
Since 1.08 I know that there are some poeple that use connections that change the password every LogOn (I did not know that such a stupid system does really exist...). RasInTask can handle those connections: Simply check one or both of this two checkboxes and RasInTask will bring up a LogOn-Dialog when you begin to connect.
Do you have more than one Provider? Or provides you your provider with more than one POP with different Phone-Numbers and Modem-Settings? RasInTask can help you to get connected: If one number cannot be dialed, RasInTask will show a dialog where you can specify, which connections will be dialed (this screenshot is an old one. In the current release, there are so many extra-features concering Re- and MultiDial that I had to create an extra-tab.(*) A screenshot of this would be far too big)
You cannot save your password? This is a bug of Windows (95 and probably 98). RasInTask can fix this bug... (On the screenshoot the CheckBox is disabled because the bug does not exist under WinNT, so the option is not available on that system).
Let Windows do all the work for you! RasInTask has and exciting (and rare) feature: It can register itself as the DefaultDialer! Whenever Windows wants to connect to the internet, RasInTask will display a dialog and will then begin to dial. You can use all the special-features of RasInTask while dialing!(*)

• WinWatch: Let RasInTask watch the windows on your desktop. Whenever a window gets closed, RasInTask will disconnect. This is cool for Download-Windows for example.(*)
• AutoDisconnect: Let RasInTask disconnect for you, when there was no activity for some time(*)
• Statistics: Nearly no Dialer out there has one: A good Statistics-Screen. RasInTask now (finally) uses the same detailed screen for both Windows9x and NT!(*)
• User-friendly: Ever got an Error 630 by Windows? You knew only the error code? Or did Windows tell you somehting that was obviously wrong? RasInTask displays a small helptext for every Dialing-Error that can occur.(*)
• Logging: For the people with paranoia out there: RasInTask can log every error and even every attempt to connect or to disconnect.(*)
• Programs: RasInTask can launch your favourite Internet Programs and adresses: In the new version (1.1) you can even define when and how RasInTask should start the items.(*)
• Command-Line: For all the freaks out there: RasInTask comes with a nice command-line-tool that allows you to control RasInTask and/or the RAS-Subsystem of Windows form a batch-file (or your favourite Sheduler)(*)
• ... and many small stuff. I suggest you to download RasInTask and try to find all the little features that make a good tool out of RasInTask.
