Subject: detecting if I am connected to a ISP

Hi, I have written a small mail pre-viewer in Ruby/FXRuby which allows a 
graphic view of incoming mail headers, from
which I can select canditates for deletion before loading,
I an  using POP, however I cannot see any way to detect that the user 
has actually connected to their ISP before running
the program, natually I recieve a 'system error.
