Ok, thank you for that information.
I was trying to compile by myself an updated package of
nm from cvs for my ubuntu feisty but I wasn't able to
retrieve from the cvs as explained on the developer page;

can you point me to the correct cvs server?


Btw I've found here
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1669887&postcount=6
a prepackaged nm07 which I've just installed and now I've
got nm informing other apps that a "modem connection" is up,
even if the applet keeps on stay in "disconnected mode"...
and for sure that's better than before :-) (at least I can
use gaim/firefox/etc... while I'm on dialup)

I've also noticed that the previous version (0.6.x) was
able to show the exact name of the ppp connection as in
my /etc/network/interfaces while now (0.7) it shows a generic
"modem connection"...

Roberto
