Read the documentation ! The control panel you're used to has been
replaced by one called 'Remove Access'.
I would strongly recommend you remove the PPP control panel immediately
since it will interfere with your setup.

You can now control this and see the connection time using the
'Remote Access Control Strip' control strip module. You don't even
need to use a control panel.
