Hello there,

Is there anyone here that knows how my program can find out whether
Win'95 is still connected with Dial-Up Networking? I can check to see
if the 'Connected to ..." window is still there, but this ofcourse is
both rather lame and language dependent.

I've asked this before, and got no replies, so any pointers to
documents describing the innards of Dial-Up Networking would also be
highly appreciated.

Since this is not a question many people know the answer to, I will
write a posting with the answer as well as any other things I trip
over in the process.

Thanks,

Rop Gonggrijp

By default a Win95 connectoid sets "Show Modem Status."  A modem icon 
should appear in the Notification Area of the Desktop (lower right hand 
corner to the left of the time).  Move the mouse pointer over the icon 
to view xmt/rcv information.  Double-click for more information.  If you 
don't see the modem, enable this option under connectoid Properties.

Try RasEnumConnections().
