Hello,

Trying the beta 4, I see some problems with drakconnect.

- the Alcatel URL for the Speedtouch (in adsl.pm) is obsolete, it is now :
http://www.speedtouchdsl.com/dvrreg_lx.htm

- the expert mode is not working at all - at least for my setup (ethernet pppoe)
the values are not saved in the net_cnx_up file (drakconnect is saving
them in /etc/ppp/pppoe.conf, though...)

- net_monitor is useless : in the time it takes to connect I can open a
console, type su and the root password, type /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
net_cnx_up, wait for it to succeed (about 2 seconds) and close the console
window.
Net_monitor has also the nice habit to fail to connect sometimes - a purely
software
problem as adsl-start and adsl-stop work reliably.

I don't know if these problems are caused by something special in my setup, but
they are not exactly new - in fact I have seen them with my first Mandrake
(8.0), I see
them with 8.2, it is beginning to be a bit baffling to see these problems
still there.

I have tried to hack the code a bit to fix things, if someone is interested
I can
post the diffs here for review.

Thanks,

Gerard
