Hi

ISDNPM creates an named Pipe with can be read with an 
Rexxskript. So you can get the status of your connection.

Because English is not my native language, there may be many 
errors and misspellings in this Mail. 
Nevertheless I hope you'll understand it anyway. 


For the few german lisner:
ISDNPM erzeugt eine named Pipe die sich mit einem Rexxskript 
auslesen läßt. Damit läßt sich der status der Verbindung 
ermitteln. Bei bedarf kann ich mir mal die mühe machen und 
schauen ob ich ein hinbekomme :)
