My Helix-Gnome setup includes v 1.2.3 of "Modem Lights TW> Applet" which is dialing my ISP quite nicely. The difference is that Modem Lights really isn't a comprehensive application for managing modem/ppp communications. It's an applet that lets you view Modem status. And it lets you invoke a script (ppp-on, ppp-off). But as far as I could tell (I might have missed something), it doesn't help you configure those scripts. On the other hand, the kppp application not only helps you track modem usage, it also helps set up connections. And it easily handles connections to multiple ISPs. This seems like something modem lights really isn't up to. Or is it? Do you have a way to handle multiple dial-ups with modem lights? It's just the difference between a user friendly app and an applet with a bunch of stuff left as an exercise to the reader. I'm willing to do that sometimes --- after all, i use linux, not windows, but in this case it seems like a useless step backwards for me to take. Best, R
