I get the same error on 
PythonWin 2.0 (#8, Oct 19 2000, 11:30:05) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32.

I asked this question a while ago, I think the problem is with the
windows API, and I have hunted through microsoft's API references to
no avail!!. I vaguely remember narrowing it down to a DLL, however, I
couldn't find any documentation to call up the DLL (I was thinking of
rundll). 

Could dial up be initiated through COM & internet explorer?? I tried
this myself with no luck.

BTW I'm a newbie to both Python & windows API so I might have missed
some obvious stuff.

One suggested solution was to call up Rasdial95.exe, which I have
since downloaded & succesully tested on win98.

On location for it is:

though there are plenty other locations.
