    @class wxDialUpManager
    @wxheader{dialup.h}

    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
    wxDialUpManager::Create and you can't
    create the objects of this class directly.

        without them, but will ask the user if really needed.
        If @a async parameter is @false, the function waits until the end of dialing
        and returns @true upon successful completion.

        returns immediately - the result is reported via events (an event is sent
