I'm writing a simple program that reports certain system information.  I'd
like to be able to report whether or not TCP/IP and Peer are enabled.  Is
there an easy way to do that?  Thanks for any help.

For tcp/ip, sock_init() will tell you whether the drivers
are loaded and working. You could do a gethostbyname()
call on something like www.ibm.com to see if there is
connectivity.
