Surely you can resort to the tray icon informations using *TrayIcon Dump however, you need install Tray Support (:pprotray.exe) first. See the help file for details. BTW, there could be other ways too. I'm wondering if you could utilize "getmac" in your case which might be the simplest: what results do you get if you run getmac in Command Prompt before/after the modem connected?
