Changelog/README SMPPPDCS
=========================

The smpppdcs-plugin for Kopete provides a internet connection
detection based on SuSE's kinternet/smpppd or on the netstat 
program.

The smpppd is a controller to the internet interfaces. The plugin
is inquiring this interface frequently and checks if it reports a
connection to the internet and then activates all Kopete accounts.

The netstat is checking if a default gateway is existing and then
activates all Kopete accounts, too.
