Fix PPPMenu to open Remote Access under 8.5.
Now that Apple has rolled 0T/PPP into Remote Access, PPPMenu is no longer able to open the login control panel. This edit fixes that problem.
 The edit involves changing the old PPP control panel creator code (rmot) to the new one assigned to the Remote Access control panel (rmcc).
 Open a copy of PPPMenu in ResEdit and find the PTCH resources.
Open them with a double-click.
 The is only one (oddly named) ID number.
 Open ID 128 by selecting the menu option "Open Using Hex Editor".
Type Command-G to bring up the ASCII Search window.
Find rmot and change it to rmcc.
The changed resource should look like this.
Once you have changed it, you can close the PTCH resources.
 This next step is purely cosmetic, but since we're already in the file, we amy as well complete it.
Open the STR# resources with a double-click.
Open ID# 128
Change string number two to "Open Remote Access Control Panel..."
 Save your work and quit ResEdit. Replace the old PPPMenu with the new one and restart your Mac.
That's it! The menu will now open the correct control panel, and display the correct name.
