Dos commands....without the dos window?

Greetings

I'm pretty much a Delphi Newbie, and I'm trying to write a program to
dial an internet connection as soon as it is dropped (btinternet gives
me 2 hour cut-offs).

I'm dialing the connection by executing 'rasdial entryname username
password' which works great, but I do geta  dos box on screen while
dialing. Is there any way to hide this, preferably stop it from ever
popping up?

Failing that, is there a better way than the one I'm using to dial an
internet connecion?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Some example code would yield better help. If you can post some of the procedure/function that does your "thing," then I
am sure we can provide you with a suitable solution.
