[ILUG] Dialup link status for Win95

[ILUG] Dialup link status for Win95

I've set up an old laptop running Slackware/pppd/chat/diald as a 
dialup gateway for the three Win95 machines at home.  It works 
great.

As part of my fiddling around with it I've written a perl script on the 
gateway and a small VB program for the Win95 machines to report 
the dialup link status to each Win95 user and give them direct 
control over the link.  The VB program behaviour (text, buttons, 
popup, sound) can be controlled by the messages sent from the 
perl script on the gateway, so the whole thing is very configurable.

Would anyone else be interested in a copy of these?  If so, I'll 
package it up with some minimal documentation and make it 
available.

Regards,
