xcall MIAMEX, MX_CHKPCNET, STATUS, FLAGS
This routine MIAMEX function MX_CHKPCNET (176) checks the network state of the local PC (for A-Shell/Windows) or the ATE client:
status (Num) [out]
will return 1 if the PC is connected to the Internet, and 0 if it is not. -1 indicates that the function is not supported (not Windows, ATE not present, or ATE PC version too old).
Note that since older versions of A-Shell would not have this function supported, you may want to pre-set status to something like -99 so you don't confuse a non-updated status with a real one (or, use MX_GETVER to check the A-Shell version before calling the function).
flags (Num) [out]
returns flags which can be interpreted as following:

INTERNET_CONNECTION_CONFIGURED |
