And this is Gnome ModemLights applet in Debian, written Mar 16, 2004, and concerning Uncategorized

I’ve just been setting up the Gnome modemlights applet on a Debian box.
To make it work, you need to set the preferences as follows:
Device: ppp0
Lock file: /var/run/ppp0.pid
Disconnection command: poff -a
and make sure that /dev/modem exists and is a link to your modem device.

I'm not sure what point I've proved here, but I'm glad I could help :)

the one I made about people added stuff to thier blogs so google learns something new. I believe it is a very hackerly thing to do and many, many people do it without thinking these days.

Ah. I did it quite specifically because I'd spent an hour googling for it and couldn't work it out, so next time someone can't and googles for "modemlights debian" they should get a better answer ;)
