I made some mistake with the usage of "su" in the shell... So here's the 
real-behavior of the applet on my system:

- Can't start my ppp-go script with a click on the applet (nothing comes 
out)
- when I start ppp-go from the shell (without "su" :-[  ), the connexion 
comes up but it is not showned in the applet (always got the Phone 
icon). I right-click the applet and close the properties window and now 
the applet shows the connexion (LEDS + traffic, etc...).  Then I can 
click on the applet to execute the ppp-stop script AND IT WORKS!

So right-now I have two problems:  Can't execute my ppp-go script and I 
must right-click the applet to be able to activate the use of it!!! ????

That's all I have to say for now...

BTW: I can work on the icons if you want me to... I'll do some tests and 
send it attached to this mail list when finished! ;)

Ti-Paul.

...and thanks for this applet... Look's promising for modem'ers like me!
