+- add possibility to input username and password ;)
 - impl. PPPData::copyaccount & PPPData::deleteAccount
 - update modem attribute inputs when modem has changed
 - fix layout of edit account
 - save pppd arguments in edit account
 - popup configure modem with the correct account prselected
         not quite shure why it does not work... IMHO it should work
