i was making a script when i needed to see the INTERNET activity was going or not (packets were being sent etc)... so i thought it'd be better if AHK includes some options for DialUp/Modem... like Connect.. Activity etc..

Had a look at rasdial.exe? If you're using Windows right now, you probably already have it. Try googling it or search MSDN.

thanks jonny.. i checked it.. i can connect to net through it.. but checking ACTIVITY still is a problem .. actually it is useful when i want to find if something has been downloaded (from kazaa.. or from a website).. so that i can start the next file

For now, detecting network activity seems outside the scope of the project. But I know there are external programs you can use to do this, some of which might create a log file or produce some other indicator when network traffic exceeds a limit you specify.

I believe the Performance Monitor that comes with Windows 2000 and XP can graph your bandwidth utilization, and perhaps store the info to a log file as well. Such a log file could be examined with the help of tail.exe and FileRead.

Chris, I keep forgetting to mention that if you choose to persue system status code for AHK (cpu, net usage, memory, etc), the source code for rainmeter would probably the best place to look.
