This relies on Agent being allowed to close the DUN connection without
prompting the user. Set this off in Agent's system settings from the On-Line
tab. If you prefer to have this set when using Agent interactively, as I do,
you could make two copies of Agent's ini file. One with this setting on and
one with it off. Then using batch files the INI files can be swapped at the
start and end of the above script, or use the EditIniFile command to swap the
ini file setting at the start and end of the script.
