  12
  13     This class encapsulates functions dealing with verifying the connection
  14     status of the workstation (connected to the Internet via a direct
  15     connection, connected through a modem or not connected at all) and to
  16     establish this connection if possible/required (i.e. in the case of the
  17     modem).
  18
  19     The program may also wish to be notified about the change in the connection
  20     status (for example, to perform some action when the user connects to the
  21     network the next time or, on the contrary, to stop receiving data from the
  22     net when the user hangs up the modem). For this, you need to use one of the
  23     event macros described below.
  24
  25     This class is different from other wxWidgets classes in that there is at
  26     most one instance of this class in the program accessed via Create() and
  27     you can't create the objects of this class directly.

  32     @event{EVT_DIALUP_DISCONNECTED(func)}
