Right, I just checked Microsoft and my favorite programming sites and it
seems that there are dozens of ways to check this but all methods fail in
one way or the other. For example there are a number of Windows functions
which test for a connection but they only work with IE 3.x or greater(I
wonder why:-). Other methods may work with dial up connections but fail
if you're connected in some other way.
