RAS -- workaround/substitute?

[walt]

I have an app that almost-but-not-quite works under wine. The main
problem seems to be that the app announces that it's initiating login
to the remote web server, but then after ten seconds says login failed.

The only likely suspect I see buried among the hundreds of other fixme's
is this one:

fixme:ras:RasEnumConnectionsW (0x15cdd8,0x33ed00,0x33ecfc),stub!
fixme:ras:RasEnumConnectionsW RAS support is not implemented! Configure program
to use LAN connection/winsock instead!
fixme:winsock:WSAIoctl -> SIO_ADDRESS_LIST_CHANGE request: stub
fixme:ras:RasConnectionNotificationW (0xffffffff,0x4a4,0x00000003),stub!

I don't know much about RAS. Does this seem like it could be the main
reason for the login failure? If so, is there a workaround for it?

Thanks!

What sort of app? What it's doing?

RAS is totally not implemented in Wine. If anything depends on it, it won't work.

It's the one I posted about on June 21:

CitiFX Pro is a foreign currency trading platform recently bought
by CitiBank:

At the point of failure it seems to be connecting to its data server
in Denmark. At that point it's already past the login that checks my
name and password, so it's a different kind of login.

Can you offer a guess why this app might be using RAS instead of
whatever most similar apps use these days?

You should ask it's developers.
