I figured this one out, but I thought I'd save the
next [purblind fool] newbie some distress:

With Python 1.5.2 and PythonWin build 132 installed,
attempting to import win32ras fails with:
 "ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified
  module could not be found."

Well, doggon, python/win32 is in PythonPath, and
the win32ras.pyd is /right there/, I can see it,
and I can import win32process and win32security,
and it worked at home, so what's the dang deal here 
at the office?

AFter thrashing about for, well, way too long,
I thought to try the same thing under python.exe.

Ah. "The dynamic link library RASAPI32.dll could not
be found in the specified path."

Of course. I don't have RAS installed here at the 
office.  Fortunately, I just wanted it for study,
so I guess I can wait till I get home.

Onward through the fog....
