YES!!  wmppp was just what I was looking for.  But I can't seem to get it
to dial.  I am guessing the little check mark is for the dialing since
the [x] disconnect works..  This is my setup:  typicaly, I dial with
either  "ppp-on" or just "pppd" (with /etc/ppp/options set)  


.wmppmrc:
speed: /etc/ppp/getmodemspeed
start: /usr/sbin/ppp-on
stop: /usr/sbin/ppp-off
ifdown: /foo/bar/your-personal-wmppp-restart-script-here


I didn't know what "ifdown" should do so I didn't modify it.
Lastly, I am interested in the patch.. please let me know how I can get
it.

thanks,
Dennis
