// A class which groups functions dealing with connecting to the network from a

// of this class in the program accessed via GetDialUpManager().

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