My guess is, almost all GNOME core developers have permanent connection, and they never looked back and see the need of a modem dialer :-/ Actually I'd suggest gnome-network be removed from cooker, it's just a bunch of dead code :-) Abel > Jean-Michel -- Abel Cheung GPG Key: (0xC67186FF) http://deaddog.org/gpg.asc pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

So it won't help new users to get connected, and it's hard to get technical support when you've just reformatted your only machine and you can't connect to the net =( Jean-Michel

Don't bother with gnome-ppp. Use wvdial, it works just fine and it is very easy to configure. That's what I ended up using when I was stuck with a modem. -- _ _ _ _ | |_| | |_/ | | / / -_) | / / | |_\_\___|_|_\_\_| @ sbcglobal.net signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
