Hi there, (In case this is easy/old hat). One of our applications has to detect whether the system is currently online (via modem) and, if so, briefly open a socket connection to a remote server. Does anyone have any Delphi logic or know of componentry which can reliably and with minimal overhead or delay, detect whether a modem-based TCP connection is currently open, or not? Desirably, it needs to work on Win9x/ME as well as WinNT/2K.
