This willl allow you to choose phone number, and other options to ppp0 interface just as you would have to do with wvdial or kppp. Then to get the interface connected use modem lights which you can add to the panel by right clicking and going to Add to paned -> Internet-> modem lights. Only two suggestions: 1. change the name of the lock file in /var/lock to LCK..ttySx (0 or 1). And picj appropriate status colors. left click to connect and disconnect. Works faster than othe dialup programs. -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University One Trinity Place.
