disappearing process when launched from a web service

[Tim Mackey]

Hi,
I'm building a very simple web service to control a server dial-up connection, as follows:

[WebMethod]
public void Dial()
{
Process.Start("rasdial.exe", "utv_isdn user pass");
}

this works when i invoke it, but the connection is disconnected straight away. it's as if the process gets cleaned up as soon as the web request is finished, is this an IIS thing to do with processes created by a web request?

thanks for any help
