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

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 The control panel you're used to has been
replaced by one called 'Remove Access'.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.

Yes, in MacOS 8.5 it is.
