[gnome-network] network settings - ppp0 starting automatically

[gnome 20 briony spamgourmet com]

Hello!

Two days ago i've installed ubuntu hoary containing gnome 2.10.2 on a friends family machine - since they have a 56k-dial-up modem i've configured this device via the network-settings-dialog under 'system' and added the new 'modem control applet' to the panel. everything worked pretty smooth and flawless but there's only one problem. after logging in with gdm the modem automatically dials in, which is an unwanted behaviour. internet is only used sporadically on this machine and dialup should be initiated manually when the user wants to. so i've tried to find out where to turn this off, but after several different attempts including lots of googling i'm still looking for the switch. where the heck is the setting to turn of automatic dialing? advice is highly appreciated - thanks in advance!

best regards
christian
