In general, I need to know if the following keys are localized or not.

For localized versions of Win95/98/ME (not English), concerning the registry
key:
HKEY_DYN_DATA\PerfStats\StatData: Dial-Up Adapter\ConnectSpeed

I've also seen "Dial-Up Adapter #2" which I believe has to do with VPN.

Is the keyname portion "Dial-Up Adapter" the only one I need to look at if I
want to programatically get the ConnectSpeed, no matter how many modems are
connected? I've seen that this is the only stats that are updated no matter
which modem I use.

Also, I saw methods for drilling down to this key programatically to get the
ConnectSpeed and I get the impression that this could be locale dependant.
The method I've seen is:

1. Start with HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Net\0000 and walk
that tree until you find an adapter with AdapterName == 'MS$PPP'
2. Use the DriverDesc value from that adapter (usually 'Dial-Up Adapter') to
find the name for the PerfStats\StatData key name.

Last question, I've seen
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Net\000n
DriverDesc=='DFÜ-Adapter' (in German). See the image
at: http://www.bis0uhr.de/tuning/dfue/slownet.gif
Is it possible that HKEY_DYN_DATA\PerfStats\StatData will have a key
DFÜ-Adapter\ConnectSpeed (locale dependent) that I should use instead of
looking for a hardcoded 'Dial-Up Adapter' string? Or can I just hardcode
this to the string 'Dial-Up Adapter' and be done with it? Thanks all.
