Is there a way to prompt the Windows NT login box to come up if you cancelled by it initially?

Go to Start --> Log Off

OR

Start --> Shutdown --> and the last option should be one that allows you to login as a user.

Thanks. Here is a little additional info. We are using a ISP with their own dialer and SecuRemote. So we need to get the box up after we have succesfully dialed in and been autenticated by the firewall. When I tried your second suggestion I don'thave a login as a user option.

My first answer was correct with the information provided.

As far as your comment: when you start a Windows computer you loging with a user name and password. That creates a *.pwl file. Shutdown totally and then restart your computer. Then at the first login screen, hit the cancel button. Then connect to your VPN server. You should automatically be presented with the login /password and domain screen. If you are not presented with this information at this point, you should contact your ISP/VPN administrator. You have to authenticate at the VPN level, not at the windows level, but the pwl file must be there and it must have the correct (matching) login, password and domain.

Just for future reference, it would have been nice for you to post an additional comment in your original question, instead of having to reject a perfectly good answer to your original posting.

I will try your suggestion and thank you for your comment, however your first answer did not pertain as in my case I did not receive the logon as another user option.
