BTW, is there some plan to add a decent PPP dialer to the GNOME Desktop
applets/utilities? Many users are still limited by modem connections,
and it's a shame that I can only suggest to use KPPP (I myself have
broadband at the university but only a plain old telephone line at home,
and the assorted utilites available under GNOME/GTK never worked for me
or my friends). Worse, I guess that third world countries will follow
the same route, i.e. PPP connections for a looong time before having the
luxury of an ADSL line.

I believe this point has been raised on Footnotes several times in the
past. Hope it will be considered by the GNOME developers.
