I am trying to write a small program that will run in the background. It
will check to see if you are receiving data, if not then it will disconnect
and then reconnect you to your ISP.
My problem is how to tell if you are still receiving data or not. Should I
use ping or is there a way to tell how long it has been from the last time
that data has been received?

There must be some way to track the data received over the connection
because I have seen other programs do this (i.e. The Windows Connection
Status Dialogue Box)
