C# Signature:

        [DllImport("rasapi32.dll", SetLastError=true,CharSet=CharSet.Auto)]
        static extern int RasEnumDevices(
            IntPtr lpRasDevInfo,
            ref int lpcb,
            ref int lpcDevices);

Tips & Tricks:

This structure needs to be defined.

    [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet=CharSet.Auto)]
    public class RASDEVINFO
    {
        public const int RAS_MAXDEVICETYPE = 16;
        public const int RAS_MAXDEVICENAME  = 128;

        public int dwSize;
        [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = RAS_MAXDEVICETYPE + 1)]
        public string szDeviceType ;
        [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = RAS_MAXDEVICENAME + 1)]
        public string szDeviceName ;
    }

Sample Code:

        private RASDEVINFO[] getDevices()
        {
            RASDEVINFO[] rdiRets = new RASDEVINFO[1];

            int intRet=0;
            int lpcb = 0;

            IntPtr devinfo = IntPtr.Zero;

            intRet = RasEnumDevices(IntPtr.Zero,ref lpcb,ref lpcDevices);

            devinfo = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(lpcb);

            rdiRets[0] = new RASDEVINFO();
            rdiRets[0].dwSize = Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(RASDEVINFO));
            Marshal.WriteInt32(devinfo, Marshal.SizeOf(rdiRets[0]));

            intRet = RasEnumDevices(devinfo,ref  lpcb,ref lpcDevices);
            if( intRet == 0)
            {
                rdiRets = new RASDEVINFO[lpcDevices];
                for(int i=0;i<lpcDevices;i++)

                    devinfo = ( IntPtr )(devinfo.ToInt32()+ Marshal.SizeOf(rdiRets[i]));
                }                
            }
            return rdiRets;
        }
