the roaringpenguin gui is written in TK and works quite well , you just
enter in your user name , password , eth device number and firewall status
, you can use the pre configured firewall that comes with it or your own.
then hit the start button , it will automaticly reconnect if you go off
line , it has a graphical representation of the connection and speed of
connection , you can sit and watch bandwith usage with it to. Great
little frontend for the core roaringpenguin program...
two thumbs up

Greg
