This is a good fix. The next v20 release will return TRUE if /proc/net/route
is not readable. You can keep the current behavior by setting
"RouteRequired=1" in primenet.ini.
A question to all you linux users with modems: I assume that the
/proc/net/route file exists when you are not connected. Let me know
if this is not the case (I'll need to change the default setting of
RouteRequired above).
Regards,
George
