It has menu items for raising and lowering links. I think the best thing
would be for the 'lower link' menu item to cancel the connection. It may
already do this, actually. If not then it would be very easy to add this
functionality.

I do not know what you are talking about when you refer to the Windows
DUN. You'll have to explain this more fully to me. I don't know about
checking the connection speed after you're logged in either. If such a
feature exists in pppd, it would be nice to add it to libgnome_ppp. Jay
Painter is the author and maintainer of libgnome_ppp.
