hi, lingoists

i didn't expect that...
if i have the following lines in a movie script:

--*************************
global gNetID,gNetTextInfo

on startMovie
   tryAgain
end

on tryAgain
   gNetID = getNetText("http://www.alternex.com.br/~quixada/info.txt";)

   gNetTextInfo = getNetText("http://www.alternex.com.br/~quixada/access.txt";)
end
--*************************

and a routine, on a frame script, that periodically (say, from 5 to 5 
minutes) calls the tryAgain handler again, the projector will attempt to 
dial at launching and from 5 to 5 minutes. it only happens if the user has 
set the internet explorer to dial everytime a connection is not avaiable. i 
didn't know that getNetText would do such a thing. is there a way to 
prevent it to happen, and still perform the 5 to 5 minutes checking? the 
only way i can think of is to check if there's a connection available, and 
if not, do nothing. something like:

on tryAgain
   if internetConnectionIsAvailable then
     gNetID = getNetText("http://www.alternex.com.br/~quixada/info.txt";)

     gNetTextInfo = 
getNetText("http://www.alternex.com.br/~quixada/access.txt";)
   else
     nothing
   end if
end

i've checked the manuals entrances for getstreamstatus, on streamStatus, 
but didn't work. to any ideas?
