  37 /* TODO
  38  *
  39  * 1. more configurability for Unix: i.e. how to initiate the connection, how
  40  *    to check for online status, &c.
  41  * 2. a function to enumerate all connections (ISPs) and show a dialog in
  42  *    Dial() allowing to choose between them if no ISP given
  43  * 3. add an async version of dialing functions which notify the caller about
  44  *    the progress (or may be even start another thread to monitor it)
  45  * 4. the static creation/accessor functions are not MT-safe - but is this
  46  *    really crucial? I think we may suppose they're always called from the
  47  *    main thread?
