It 's the normal way , but it is not very comfortable.
1. I have to do write a script for all my netapplications
2. What's with all the users out there who have allready AmiTCP running and
   only want a autocheck if the ppp-device is up ?
3. I thought of autodisconnecting when the last netapplication has stopped!

Does anyone know how i can get the status of the ppp.device (online/offline)
in Arexx, C  or any other way ?
