this is a simple sugestion, and im sure this can be down with a simple script.

But, if would be great if it could be included in the next version of DSL.

Okay, youve set up multiple acounts for your interent conection, and you want to use your dial up acount but dont want to have to type the name in every time you want to dial your modem.

soo..can you please provide a drop down in the next version of DSL for the dial up or perhaps anything else that requires remembering settings.

There is such a tool.

It is called the "backup/restore process".

Read the documentation, or search the forums for keyword

filetool.lst

in order to get more information. Keep in mind that you need a place to store your data like a USB pen drive, a floppy disk, or a hard drive partition that has write support in Linux like FAT (MSDOS), FAT32 (Windows 98 / ME), EXT2 (native Linux filesystem type).

im aware of that procees..

thankyou for the reply.

What i mean to say is, even though my settings are backed up i would like to select my acounts from a drop down box instead of typing them in manually every time i want to use dial up.

This would just be a convient feature that all..
