Bbppp is a minimalist PPP dialer designed for use with the Blackbox window manager.
This Tool displays the status of a ppp link in an decorated window, simulating the look of the Blackbox toolbar (Blackbox is a Windowmanager for X11).

To compile bbppp for use with an isdn modem follow these:
configure --enable-isdn

There are a number of command line options:
compact: show just one button to start/stop ppp
orient v: show tool with vertical oreientation (just have a look)
notime : don't show time label
thru : show throughput label

Here are some key features of "bbppp":
Most colors and gradients can be changed
Lets you start and stop ppp-link.
Displays status of link.
'Lights' display tx and rx.
Displays the time you are connected.
You can display it as a 64 x 64 pixel Window Maker style dock app.
You can display it in a 64 pixel width, normal height format.
Time label will be disabled. This makes bbppp fit nicely in the Slit.
At compile time you can change to look to compact style, which is a lot smaller (bottom picture).

What's New in This Release:
Fixed compilation for gcc-3.0 and up
