I'm not sure about detecting a dialup (regular phone line) connection, but I do know how to MAKE one....

Attatched is a zip which contains a module. Add that to your standard project and call the sub DialUp, with the parameters you need:

ISP - name of ISP - eg "BT Internet"
Username - your ISP username - eg "john@isp.com"
Password - your ISP password - eg "hellodad"
PhoneNo - the number of the ISP dialup - eg "01234 567 890"

You call it with these parameters/arguments, and it returns a boolean (true/false) value..

EDIT --> I didnt write this all myself, infact only the DialUp function that encapsulates everything is mine. I forget where I got the original code from.....
