Thanks for the tip, Carlos. I put together a test project and ran it
in Windows 7 beta which is installed in VirtualBox on my iMac.

I get the exact same values for each of the following module tests
with the DSL modem plugged into the switch and removed from the
switch:

    dim offline As Boolean = InternetConnection.Offline
    dim configured As Boolean = InternetConnection.Configured
    dim lan As Boolean = InternetConnection.LAN
    dim noconnection As Boolean = InternetConnection.NoConnection
    dim modem As Boolean = InternetConnection.Modem
    dim busy As Boolean = InternetConnection.ModemBusy
    dim proxy As Boolean = InternetConnection.Proxy

Have I overlooked something, does it not work the same in a virtual
machine as in a real PC, is it Windows 7, or what?
