you could parse the output of the 'ifconfig' (no command line
arguments) command, or look at the source for ifconfig and determine
how it works. ifconfig is a big complicated program though so thats
not an ideal solution, but it might be a start. Also, Im not sure if/
how it deals with PPP connections.

It doesn't , and that's the point. As an example, if you have an
AirPort as a home router, it will give you a local IP address
regardless of if the AirPort itself is connected to the Internet
or not. So, in that case you will have a connection to an IP
network, but that network will not be connected to the Internet.
I see, OK thanks.
I'm trying to find out how to get the information that the Internet
Connect app has access to and displays, specifically
"connected"/"disconnected" plus the speed and time in seconds
connected. This information can be got via AppleScript thus
requiring the Internet Connect app to open but I'm wondering if
that information can be acquired programmatically from within a
Cocoa app without AS somehow? Possible? If so how? Any pointers to
how to do that would be much appreciated. If not I'll just use AS
as I'm doing at the moment but it's very annoying having the I.C.
app open and quit periodically -- be much better if I didn't have
to use AS.
Thanks, Ben.
