Just to note: ppp and netstat aren't provided due to space
limitations, sorry! :-(

Those checkboxes are just displaying status, and they're the best
objects I have available, I'm afraid.  I know that they're not proper
"active GUI objects" and they don't even come close to performing like
the classic mixed radio/multi-check menus you get with a real GUI
environment!

Dialog has some nice features, but it falls short of being a true "GUI
object"..  One of the casualties of this is that doing both selection
and status display in the same menu doesn't work very well.  Sorry!

No.. :-(

There are a few still missing.  I hope to get to them!
