I googled for pc-connectivity manager, too. Looks to me as if version 0.7.14 is the latest.
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...anager/0.7.14/
I downloaded the zip-file
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...7.14_armel.deb
But what do I do with it?

Sorry that I am kinda lost. This is only my second linux/maemo day...
First read posts from SubCore about it is dangerous and so......
Second you should enable Extras-devel repository.

#Application manager --> Application catalogs --> New
And fill following lines:
Catalog name: Maemo Extras-devel
Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel
Distribution: fremantle
Components: free non-free

And Same for Extras-testing (it is less dangerous than devel)

Application manager --> Application catalogs --> New
Catalog name: maemo.org extras-testing
Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-testing
Distribution: fremantle
Components: free non-free

after this use my script with apt-get update....

In general, here is very good advice from SubCore:
hehe, you have to change your windows-thinking
under linux (and especially debian-based distros such as maemo), you don't download single installation files, you use repositories. this has several advantages, among them automatic updates and automatic resolving of dependencies.
In linux is better add repository and after this use "apt-get".
Don't download directly files and programs.
If you add correct repositories command "apt-get install pc-connectivity-manager" will install you connectivity manager and all packages from which it depend (including vnc-server and applet for control it from status menu). If you will install it from repositories then you can easily upgrade with new versions by commands:
1. apt-get update
2. apt-get upgrade
And when will be available update you will get notification...
