Launch & quit applications automatically
with your internet connection

ConneXcellent allows you to select up to four applications to launch automatically with your pre configured PPP dialup internet connection, and to automatically quit any or all of them when disconnecting.

ConneXcellent is made up of two parts:

 ConneXcellent Control
This is the setup application. Double click on the ConneXcellent Control icon. Select the applications you choose to launch when connecting to the internet.
Choose which of those you want to quit or remain open when disconnecting.
Tip: Select the application last that you want to end up as the active one.

 ConneXcellent
The ConneXcellent application will connect if not connected, or if already connected, it will disconnect. It performs these functions invisibly and quits.
After setting your preferences in the ConneXcellent Control application, the ConneXcellent application will dialup your internet connection and launch your selected applications. If you're already connected, it will quit those applications chosen to quit while it disconnects your internet connection.
Tip: You can put ConneXcellent, or an alias to it, in any accessible location. Suggested locations are the Apple Menu Items Folder (located inside your System Folder), on the Desktop, or in any dock type launcher you might use, to have convenient one click access to connecting and disconnecting.
