Mike, I've finished the beta... when do you have time to test it? :) Hey man, I wish
that I had the time and knowledge to write such an app, it'd make my diald experience
a hell of a lot better... so, if anyone wants a challenge... feel free to write a GUI
for Diald. I'm sure that all of us could come up with some spec's.... Mike has some
good points listed below for what the program should have... Or what about a forming a
group of us to spec out, and write such an app ? Programmers welcome... :) I think
that Java would be the best bet, so you'd be able to admin from any Java compliant
Browser... or write a module for Webmin ( www.webmin.com )... Anyone have any interest
in working on such a project? Mike ? Anyone else? I'm not a programmer and don't write
any code, yet I wouldn't mind getting involved...
Thanks,
Paul Leon

I battled with this program for too long to get it working. This great
software should have a simple to use GUI that is easy to configure and use your diald,
just an idea...

I take it that you are volunteering to write one? :^)
It would be nice to have something that you could just check boxes in to
enable/disable particular packet types (perhaps with built-in help to explain what
each is for :^), and edit boxes next to the enabled ones to set the up-time boost you
get for passing one of them. It gets harder to design an interface when you start
taking into consideration all the possible arrangements people use, but even a GUI
that just lets you play with the contents of the filter file would be of enormous
help. When can you have a beta ready for testing? ;^)
