Add connection to ConnMgr programmatically

How do I add a new connection to the Pocket PC 2003 Connection Manager
programmatically?

Have you taken a look of APIs in connmgr.h? The answer is there. If you
are talking about CM CPL (control panel applet), the answer is that no
program interface has been exposed for it yet.

This is what I understand...

I can use the existing connection manager API to enumerate connections,
dial connections, get the status of connected connections, etc... but
not create connections. i.e., I can't use some connection manager API
to create a connection that can be enumerated using
ConnMgrEnumDestinations and is visible under
Settings->Connections->Connections->My ISP/My Work Network. I am aware
of connmgr.h and have looked at it. The answer to my question is not
obvious (to me) after reading the documentation and MSDN.

AFAIK, To add connection which is viewable through connection manager page,
you need to do it manually (by manipulating regvalue of connmgr - perhaps!).
However, eventhough it works, the performance is still not promising and
confusing - of course :).

Anyone has better idea?
