Checking for a dial-up connection ? I used to do it on 98 and 2000 with
something like:
use Win32::RASE;
use strict;
use warnings;
my ($entry, $hrasconn) = RasEnumConnections();
if ($hrasconn) {print "Connected to $entry\n"}
else {print "Not connected\n"}
But that module is rather old and may have been superceded by something
else.
Cheers,
Rob
