Hiho,

after HD-installing knoppix on my girlfriends pc and hoping she'd like it for losing all that worms, viruses and stuff like that I configured the dsl account. visudo for pon and poff.. everything working perfectly.

BUT since she doesn't have a flatrate it would be really nice to see if she was online or not. Just like in windows kind of a button on the task bar.

Anyone an idea?

Thanks a lot and greetings from Hamburg,

Wonko.

args: another thing just for fun: why does the pon command linked to a kde-button cause the mousepointer to go in "wait-mode" so long? Like a program that hangs. But if enable the "execute in shell" button the "pon shell" pops ups, starts pon and exits wihtout any waiting-mous-pointer..? Strange to me but surely not to all of you ..
