(Honestly, that's only a couple, since dial-up is something I > avoid.) I had forgotten about this project. Random thoughts from rereading the page... (might get a bit off-topic from applets) This allows us to configure connections, as well as initiate and control connections. I'm not sure how it wraps wvdial exactly, but one assumes it is probably staying resident for the lifespan of wvdial. There is no reason this application couldn't put something into the notification area for the lifespan of the connection (seems sensible, dialup connections are transient; in fact, it might already do it). Inclusion of this applet in GNOME with a notification area icon would deprecate the modemlights applet completely, solving my problem. This all seems especially useful if the program can also do ISDN/PPPoe/VPNs etc. Not sure who the developer is, but perhaps they should suggest this package for GNOME 2.10. Ideally, like all GNOME modules, could do with some HAL love, but that would allow it to completely replace modemlights. -- http://davyd.ucc.asn.au/ PGP Fingerprint <http://davyd.ucc.asn.au/pgp> 08B0 341A 0B9B 08BB 2118 C060 2EDD BB4F 5191 6CDA
