This version is rusty, but should provide functionality for connecting to any dial up connection and to view the status.
What does it do?
- Shows an earth globe button on the top of the streetdeck. The earth is shaded green when connected and red when disconnected.
- Tapping the earth globe will flip the connection(Red globe will dial, Green globe will disconnect).
- It polls the dial connection and will change the button if the status changes. * This may be poorly implemented in this version as I notice a frame missed everytime it polls. Dev suggestions welcome!
- This mod should work with most versions(tested on 1.0.8.1) and the buttons can be moved/modified so you can incorporate into your own skin.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Prerequisites:
1. A dial up connection must be preconfigured and saved in windows. In this version the dialer only attempts to dial a connection named "VZNEW". Just rename your default connection to "VZNEW".
2. The dial up connection can be of any type. Data card, Modem, PdaNet, Bluetooth modem, etc. It just needs to show up in your network connections and be named "VZNEW".
* You may also modify the !InternetStatus.vbs to change the default connection name. The variable is "strDefaultConnection". Later revisions may provide a preference section to change your default dialer for the digitalmod.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are two parts to the install:
1. Download the attached button.internetstatus.nofocus.zip. Extract the buttons to your skins default folder. If you use a different skin(s) you should extract them to that folder also.
2. Download and install the "Internet Status.sdz".
Thats it...please give feedback. Code bashers welcome

Working on next....
- Clean up of code
- Preferences Module to set default dialup connection and add additional settings
- Globe icon changed to represent signal strength of a data card.
