This would need to be a modeless dialog box. I shouldn't have to
choose between keeping the connection and using other applications
under MultiFinder.
It's probably useful to have a "system" alert that tells you the
connection is lost, but also the ability to have each application be
sent a message so that it can decide whether it needs to do something
special.
