    @class wxDialUpManager

    This class encapsulates functions dealing with verifying the connection
    status of the workstation (connected to the Internet via a direct
    connection, connected through a modem or not connected at all) and to
    establish this connection if possible/required (i.e. in the case of the
    modem).

    The program may also wish to be notified about the change in the connection
    status (for example, to perform some action when the user connects to the
    network the next time or, on the contrary, to stop receiving data from the
    net when the user hangs up the modem). For this, you need to use one of the
    event macros described below.

    This class is different from other wxWidgets classes in that there is at
    most one instance of this class in the program accessed via Create() and
    you can't create the objects of this class directly.

    @beginEventEmissionTable{wxDialUpEvent}
    @event{EVT_DIALUP_CONNECTED(func)}
        A connection with the network was established.
    @event{EVT_DIALUP_DISCONNECTED(func)}
        The connection with the network was lost.
