  55 /* TODO
  56  *
  57  * 1. more configurability for Unix: i.e. how to initiate the connection, how
  58  *    to check for online status, &c.
  59  * 2. add a "long Dial(long connectionId = -1)" function which asks the user
  60  *    about which connection to dial (this may be done using native dialogs
  61  *    under NT, need generic dialogs for all others) and returns the identifier
  62  *    of the selected connection (it's opaque to the application) - it may be
  63  *    reused later to dial the same connection later (or use strings instead of
  64  *    longs may be?)
  65  * 3. add an async version of dialing functions which notify the caller about
  66  *    the progress (or may be even start another thread to monitor it)
  67  * 4. the static creation/accessor functions are not MT-safe - but is this
  68  *    really crucial? I think we may suppose they're always called from the
  69  *    main thread?

 443    We first try to find out if ppp interface is active. If it is, we assume

 445    networked machine uses modem to connect to somewhere else, but we can't do
 446    anything in this case anyhow).
 447
 448    If no ppp interface is detected, we check for eth interface. If it is
 449    found, we check that we can, indeed, connect to an Internet host. The logic
 450    here is that connection check should be fast enough in this case and we
 451    don't want to give false positives in a (common) case of a machine on a LAN
 452    which is not connected to the outside.
 453
 454    If we didn't find either ppp or eth interfaces, we stop here and decide
 455    that we're connected. However, if couldn't check for this, we try to ping a
 456    remote host just in case.
 457
 458    NB1: Checking for the interface presence can be done in 2 ways
 459         a) reading /proc/net/dev under Linux
 460         b) spawning ifconfig under any OS
 461
 462         The first method is faster but only works under Linux.
 463
 464    NB2: pinging, actually, means that we first try to connect "manually" to
 465         a port on remove machine and if it fails, we run ping.
