Hi Radoluv,

Thnks for ur valuable replies

My next tasks are

getting the IP and USERAGENT value from the command line argument
call function isInFua ( which is internally calling some othe functions)
FInally i need the Return value (RET_VALUE) like 3G or Smartphone or WAP or WEB...

I am attaching the code with ur changes
