How do i check for an internet connection?

[Andre Garzia]

Kurt,

that's a little gem... nice, never thought of that, I did things like  
get URL "http://www.soapdog.org/checknet.txt" and trapped for errors,  
of course this code breaks if my domain goes offline, but that code  
of yours, that holds!

Cheers
andre
