I would be grateful for a sight of that program, or even a clue. I have
never managed to think of a test to detect the network.
The network here rarely starts first time. I shift-start the machine to
the * prompt. If the light is on on the router then I only need to type
!Boot. Mostly I leave the Iyonix at the *prompt to warm up a bit then
recycle the mains switch, after the kettle has boiled. It always, 99.9%
that is, starts second time around.
The machine is then left on for the rest of the day.
