 Hallo !

 That is the 2. reason, why I suggested a separated dialmanager.
 That backend-dialmanager is already finished (since december 1999 :-) )
 and I am using it. See:
 http://home.netsurf.de/bjoern.kahl/knetmgr/translated/netmgrd_ueb_1.html

 What I try to do now is, to integrate this in the kio-system.
 (That is, the system should take care if a connection is neede for a
  given job, not every application on its own.) See:
 <http://home.netsurf.de/bjoern.kahl/knetmgr/index_eng.html>

 Will take a look.
