I did that and yes, I now can use the button to establish my dialup connection, BUT.... there is now no Disconnect option offered! After I connect, when I want to disconnect, it offers only "Do you want to connect?" with the buttons "cancel" or "connect". Add to that the fact that it now shows zero indications of any activity. No color bars, numbers, nada! I do hope that SOMEone will pick this applet up and do some SERIOUS work on it. IT is really in bad need. -- Dennis C.
