I like the BeOS behaviour. For those who don't know, when a DUN connection is not active, just a modem icon is shown. This allows a right-click to connect or edit the connection properties. When a connection is active, 2 arrows are shown on top of the icon, and they are coloured in to represented data being sent or received. I have dial on demand enabled, but I still like to be able to connect manually with just a couple of clicks. Axel's user-space net_server seems a good idea - this could also create deskbar replicants to show traffic on other network connections (like Win XP's monitors). Simon
