  Hallo !

  I am the one, who wrote about a Connection-Manager 5 weeks ago.
  (1999-05-15 according to kde-devel-list-archive)
 

  After a closer look on what I have had at that time, I decided to
  rewrite it from scratch. It took me more time than I expected, but
  now it's done.

  I have successfully uploaded the whole stuff to my homepage at
  <http://home.netsurf.de/bjoern.kahl/netmgr/index2.html>
  but I don't think it's the right place. Perhaps it can move to
  kdenetworks.

  The software itself functions well, the documentation is still
  incomplete and a mixture of English (most parts) and a few lines
  German. Just have a look. Especially I am interested in your
  opinion about the client-api.


  Short description:

  (see: <http://home.netsurf.de/bjoern.kahl/netmgr/index2.html> )
  The NetworkManager (NetMgr) is a client-server-system written in
  C. Its main purpose is to controll a dialup internetconnection
  so that multiple users (or programmes) can share one physical
  link with eachother without interfering with eachother (like one
  brings the link down, while the other one still wants to use it).
  It provides its functionality via a link library. This library
  contains six functions, allowing a programme to register with
  the server, request the internetlink to come up or down, and to
  query the server about the status of the internet link.

  Just have a look, and let me know, what you think about it.
