I think he means something like the "LAN" systray icon in XP. AFAIK
XP has one icon for every interface and it "lights up" when an interface 
is active.

Unless openbeos inetd is going to be very different from every other 
inetd this doesnt sound like a job for it. inetd accepts network 
connections and run programs that handler those connections and to me 
that's very different from ppp-dial-on-demand and/or showing deskbar icons.
