I think it's a lot nicer, but it doesn't mean the same thing.
When you log {in on, into, onto, in to, on to} the network, you identify
yourself, and the network server decides whether to allow you to proceed and
what sorts of things you'll be allowed to do.
Connect does not have the same connotation of registration, validation, and
permission. ...RM
