- It 's the normal way , but it is not very comfortable.
- 1. I have to do write a script for all my netapplications
- 2. What's with all the users out there who have allready AmiTCP running and
- only want a autocheck if the ppp-device is up ?
- 3. I thought of autodisconnecting when the last netapplication has stopped!
-
- Does anyone know how i can get the status of the ppp.device (online/offline)
- in Arexx, C or any other way ?
