RAS: how to detect a dialup connection attempt as soon as it starts dialing

I need help for a project I'm working on. I need to **detect when a dialup connection attempt starts**, as soon as possible, before it gets connected, and **the number being dialled** I tried with a few methods using RAS API, but on windows 2000/XP I'm able to detect a connection attempt *only after* RAS has successfully connected. I used RasEnumConnections, and I also tried with a loop on all possible ras connection handles: for (unsigned int count = 0x00000000; count <= 0xFFFFFFFF; ++count) { hRasConn = (HRASCONN) count; // Get connection info if (RasGetConnectStatus (hRasConn, &rasConnStatus) == 0) { ..... } } The result is always the same, the connection is detected only once it is connected. Does anybody know a method to achieve such goal? I need it as soon as possible. If you have a solution, a demo application which proves it works is welcome.
