Linkup has not entries. Only the dialer has entries. All that linkup
does is check if you are connected and, if not, it invokes the dialer.

TTBOMK, there is only one linkup.exe. However, it can be configured.

Linkup does not do connection configuration. :-) All it does is wait for
connections to be made.

Get the number of that train. :-)

Now for the terminally curious, here's how to configure linkup....

Linkup knows the name of two dialers: slippm.exe and dialer.exe. It also
knows to look in tcpos2.ini for the key connection/default_app. In my
case this is set to slippm.exe, so the Alternate dialer radio button is
selected when I invoke linkup. Those that use the IBM dialer will have
the key set to dialer.exe and the IBM Internet button selected.
