I have began some initial development work to create a mod for this. Wanted to start a post to see if I can get some inputs and hopefully some assistance if I get stuck.

Goals:
1. Internet Status Indicator - Have a dynamic imaged button available SD skins that will display the status of internet connectivity for a dial up connection. A dial up connection can be one established via cellular data card(verizon 3g), pdanet, cell phone tethering etc. This first goal is to just have the indicator available and show connected or not connected. I have already written some snippets for interacting with rasdial using vbscript, but haven't decided if this will be the best path.

Further development later on will include the actual signal strength of the data signal from 3g data cards and cell phones. This may not be as compatible across varying devices so this part of the goal might not be implemented.

2. Internet Settings Module - The above button would open up a module to change modify internet settings. Items on this page would be similar to IE's internet options -> Connections page to allow setting default dial up connection.

Further development might include local lan and wireless b/g settings.

So far I have been able to at least get an indicator in my skin to show if I am connected to prove the concept, but it is still in its early stages. As soon as I have something worthy of sharing I will post it here.

Please send on your suggestions and if anyone else already has something in the works let me know so I dont burn cycles. I got plenty of other ideas I could work on!
