I really would like to make it into a simple script whith an icon which i can double click to start the vdata card & when i close it my office route is put back in place. I have started on it. I can get the script to dial and connect but then wvdial does not return and my next comand to make ppp0 default route does not execute. Also i would like to trap the close so I can put the office route back as default. Any tips?
