It does it in dapper and edgy. I am a developer and thought I'd just browse through the gnome code to see if I can do something about it, haha. What a mission, it'll take me ages to figure out how their design patterns work.
I love ubuntu, and try out lots of distro's, but I keep sticking to working on ubuntu. It saddens me that we still don't have a fully working graphical interface for something as basic as connecting to the net. I have a gprs modem and there is no decent gnome graphical dialup out of a number that I have tried, that has worked for me out of the box. And all I need to specify is a user password and phone number of *99# , can't get any simpler. And this network admin works, it just looses the number, and wvdial and pppconfig works fine. (well wvdial didn't work on serial port in dapper, which was fine in breezy, although it works through a usb-serial converter) If anyone knows of one which at least looks decent and works, i'd be glad to hear about it. And when oh when will we have a graphical interface to pppoeconfig where I again only need to specify a user name and password. Can't we get that simplicity working on the desktop? -- GNOME Modem applet loses phone number https://launchpad.net/bugs/14020 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
