The clockmail applet has been updated, you can now specify your mailbox
in the properties dialog. (It defaults to the "MAIL" environment variable).

The ppp dialer appears to be hardcoded to to run pppon and pppoff. The
modemlights applet now has dial capabilities, so try that. And you can
specify your (dis)connect commands in the modemlights properties dialog.

The most current versions of these programs are in the CVS, and should be
in the next snapshot.
