But what will add this deskbar replicant? And I actually planned to have a 
replicant per connection (if you have two connections: one to your work's 
Intranet with a special netmask and one default connection to the general 
internet, for example). If you enable the dial-on-demand option there is no 
need for having a replicant in the deskbar.
As the whole PPP stack is working inside the kernel I cannot contact the 
Deskbar to add a replicant. Also, I would like to have the ability to recognize 
connections that are created inside the kernel.
