  61 /* TODO
  62  *
  63  * 1. more configurability for Unix: i.e. how to initiate the connection, how
  64  *    to check for online status, &c.
  65  * 2. add a "long Dial(long connectionId = -1)" function which asks the user
  66  *    about which connection to dial (this may be done using native dialogs
  67  *    under NT, need generic dialogs for all others) and returns the identifier
  68  *    of the selected connection (it's opaque to the application) - it may be
  69  *    reused later to dial the same connection later (or use strings instead of
  70  *    longs may be?)
  71  * 3. add an async version of dialing functions which notify the caller about
  72  *    the progress (or may be even start another thread to monitor it)
  73  * 4. the static creation/accessor functions are not MT-safe - but is this
  74  *    really crucial? I think we may suppose they're always called from the
  75  *    main thread?

 449    We first try to find out if ppp interface is active. If it is, we assume
 450    that we're online but don't have a permanent connection (this is false if a
 451    networked machine uses modem to connect to somewhere else, but we can't do
 452    anything in this case anyhow).
 453
 454    If no ppp interface is detected, we check for eth interface. If it is
 455    found, we check that we can, indeed, connect to an Internet host. The logic
 456    here is that connection check should be fast enough in this case and we
 457    don't want to give false positives in a (common) case of a machine on a LAN
 458    which is not connected to the outside.
 459
 460    If we didn't find either ppp or eth interfaces, we stop here and decide
 461    that we're connected. However, if couldn't check for this, we try to ping a
 462    remote host just in case.
 463
 464    NB1: Checking for the interface presence can be done in 2 ways
 465         a) reading /proc/net/dev under Linux
 466         b) spawning ifconfig under any OS
 467
 468         The first method is faster but only works under Linux.
 469
 470    NB2: pinging, actually, means that we first try to connect "manually" to
 471         a port on remove machine and if it fails, we run ping.
