A modem connection can or cannot get its IP address via DHCP, the two things do NOT have to do anything with each other at all.

For DHCP to work you have to have a working IP-capable interface. Such an interface could be a NIC (connected, correct drivers installed, etc.) but also a PPP-line, a SLIP-line or several other things. PPP, like SLIP and several others, are layer-2-protocols and just "create" (so to say) a line able to transmit IP traffic.

So what you do in fact is: using some Layer-2-protocol you call a network interface able to transmit/receive IP traffic into existence. This interface may - in terms of IP configuration - be configured via DHCP like any other interface called into existence.

NAME
glutDialsFunc - sets the dial & button box dials callback for the current window. SYNTAX
void glutDialsFunc(void (*func)(int dial, int value)); ARGUMENTS
func The new dials callback function. DESCRIPTION
glutDialsFunc sets the dial & button box dials callback for the current window. The dial & button box dials callback for a window is called when the window has dial & button box input focus (normally, when the mouse is in the window) and the user generates dial & button box dial changes. The dial parameter will be the dial number (starting at one). The number of available dial & button box dials can be determined with glutDeviceGet(GLUT_NUM_DIALS). The value measures the absolute rotation in degrees. Dial values do not ``roll over'' with each com- plete rotation but continue to accumulate degrees (until the int dial value overflows). Registering a dial & button box dials callback when a dial & button box device is not available is ineffectual and not an error. In this case, no dial & button box dials callbacks will be generated. Passing NULL to glutDialsFunc disables the generation of dial & button box dials callbacks. When a new window is created, no dial & button box dials callback is initially registered. SEE ALSO
