hello folks...

an aquaintance of mine is running KDE on SuSE 9.1 on an ASUS M6800N. we are looking for a tool (preferably an applet for the kicker) which shows the online-time on a dial-up connection (modem).

try http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=12956 it is a kicker applet rpm for SuSE9.1 http://packman.links2linux.de/?action=439

...

are there any alternatives? i googled a little bit around but could not find such a nice applet like modemlights from the GNOME-project (which unfortunately needs the gnome-panel to function) for KDE. should we try harder to fix the problems with kppp?
