Hi all, after using Puppy Slacko now for 2 months I have to say I really quite like it. Nonetheless, for day to day use a proper Slackware install seems better.
One of the nifty little utils I found in Puppy is Gprs-connect (with gprs-setup or similar), which seems to be a front to a collection of scripts. It works better than anything with my Vodafone USB modem and I wondered where I can get it in native Slackware format. It seems to be part of the base sfs file only.
Would really like a standalone .txz if possible?
I've already got usb-modeswitch and broadband-provider-info installed, but ModemManager does not seem to do the trick.

Thanks for responses.

Sorry, it's PGPRS-connect! Edited!
