Hi,
I need to write some code that monitors the Mac's Internet
connectivity. That is, when the Mac connects to the Internet, I need to
be able to start things up, and then when it disconnects, shut some
things down. OSX seems to have some really great functionality here in
the form of the System Configuration Framework, and although I've been
able to make some things work by trial-and-error based on the headers, I
can't find any other documentation than the Framework overview (which
has no API details). Is there more/better documentation somewhere??
Also, this application needs to run under OS9 as well. Are there
OpenTransport API facilities similar to OSX's System Configuration
Framework, that I can use to request notifications for changes in
Internet connectivity? Can I do this as an InterfaceLib application to
support Macs running 8.x as well?? Since this version of the app won't
run on OSX, would it be better to do it with InterfaceLib or CarbonLib??
Thanks in advance,
