Device-Redirecting Functions
The device-redirecting functions redirect standard MS-DOS devices, drive letters and LPT ports. This enables applications running on the system to use the devices and access the network in a totally transparent manner.

| NPGetConnection3 | Returns information about a connection, even if the connection is currently disconnected. |
