Applet request...

[Paul Ladouceur]

HI AGAIN!

I finally got a working ON/OFF modem button!

The bug was because your applet added a "ppp0" string at the end of the 
connect script (didn't check if it was the same for the Disconnect 
script) wich cause my script to halt with an error: didn't know what to 
do with "ppp0" as an argument... Since my script don't need argument for 
the link name...

But i still have a bug for the ICON... After connexion, it doesn't 
switch from Phone to LEDS!!! Always had to right-click the applet and 
close the properties to be able to activate LEDS!!!  (??)

Thanks!
Ti-Paul.
