[expert] Modem Icon

[Karen R]

anyone an expert on the kde?

using LM 5.3

i was connected to the internet and a friend telnetted into my machine.
he wanted me to go out of kde to the command, which i did; and when i
came back into kde, the modem icon in the tray on the panel was gone.
and since i'm hooked on those red/green blinking lights :-), am
wondering if there is a way to get it back into the tray and its still
connected with my isp.

any help will be much appreciated
