The Lotus Expeditor Client gives you an extensive network management framework that can be used to make applications network aware. It gives applications access to the network status of the client platform as well as its connectivity to remote resources; it also notifies an implementing application of a change in network state. The Lotus Expeditor network framework is also extensible and provides two extension points that applications can use to provide custom detecting and handling of network faults.
