Good, thanks for confirming that.

OK, next question, one I've been meaning to ask for a few weeks now:
Is there an easy way to turn off the core PPP/SLIP/PLIP menu entry
when the dialout module is loaded? We *do* use the SSH tunnelling
stuff here, as you know from Jeremie's recent patch to it... I've not
yet checked how well usermenu and treemenu coexist and work together :-)
Couldn't the presence of the loaded dialout module suppress the
inbuilt core PPP/SLIP/PLIP item in the Network menu?
Thanks,
Jonathan
