I was surprised to lose all control of ppp in 8.5.

it completely wiped ppp as i had it set up under open transport (in control
panel) - in other words I no longer had two pretty Send and Receive *lcds*
and a status window tellling me how long I had been connected..

Is there any way of reclaiming/showing this in 8.5?

I have reinstalled ppp in the control panel but I get no *lcd* reading and
it *wobbles* when displayed.

What I am asking for under 8.5 is the ability to control when I log on and
off to my ISP (independent of a browser/email) and the ability to see HOW
LONG (very important) I have been on line.

Any help appreciated.

Trevor
