I started playing uplink again after a few months away.
I logged onto the internic server and added all the servers they had to my list.
Now my world screen looks like a gumble of mess and I can't see the white boxes to bounce my connections through
I know I can filter down the list, But trying to do a bank job I need all the bounces I need.
just my two cents worth.
easier way to bounce connections

Just a little thought on that bank bit. All I had for my first bank hack was all the public servers, a proxy disable v5, log deleter v4, and my password breaker. That's all you really need for a bank hack. And if your frist bank hack is more than about 700,000 dollars you'll have all the money you need for the rest of the game.
I couldn't think as slow as you if I tried.
The bank doesn't do an active trace anyway. Only passive (though their passive traces are quick like hell).
(That, of course, if you use the Monitor Bypass.)
And still, you should have enough time, if you'll work fast and won't stop for anything. After the transfer, you quickly delete the log, and then dosconnect and connect to InterNIC. Do your stuff there, and you're basically finished. So, as you see, even though their trace is pretty fast, you have all the time you need without too many connections.
P.S. I generally delete the logs at my Uplink bank account as well, but they aren't supposed to be able to get there.

Be very careful when bank hackin cause the banks passive is FAST very fast. Usually I bounce through about 10 terminals before making my attack and I use a HUD connection analysis to bypass the system. When I do hack a bank I time myself. Usually if you take longer than a min fifteen sec. than your liable to be caught just my personal method to the madness....

I completely agree with the original poster. All the responses so far have addressed bank jobs -- none have address the crowding of the map with too many entries, or the general tediousness of setting up a connection with many hops.
I'm still playing the demo (CD is on order) -- and I encountered the same thing the poster did (adding all the links from InterNIC). I hope this could be improved with an *autoroute* button or similar.

it's about quality, not quantity
if you want to keep the connection screen less packed, try improving the connections you already have, get about 10 Int. Serv. machines, then set up a connection to the first one, save it, connect, crack the password, and when it's done don't even proceed just disconnect, you now have admin priv.s, go to connections, load, tack on the next machine, repeat, you set up a trail and you don't need 1000 machines.
also when you finish a mission, go to the connection map, then close it and turn the link to the machine you just hacked back on, usually you don't lose your admin priv.s but the link is still removed from the map anyway.
using this to set up a string of admin machines, and mainframes, I've hacked Mainframes with an active trace of over 300 seconds, using about 25-30 (i think) bounces
