I would agree there, the reason I'm still using kppp is
that it works, and gnome-ppp never did for me.

All of those are of course extremely important, I just
obtained wvdial last night and have been impressed so
far.  So I'd hope that any gui ppp app could be at
least as easy to use.

thanks, I'd also like the notification area icon, but I
have no clue how to even start with that.  I've played
around a little bit more with glade since getting
wvdial working, I trimmed a bit to make it a little bit
less like kppp.

Is there anyone here who does have the skills to link
a gnome gui to wvdial?  Its c++ and has a wvdial class
available and there are gtk+ bindings for c++ correct?
