It used to work for me in Kuwait. It is a nifty tool - but usually only
works for people who know just what the hell they're doing. Also - the last
'released' version of it was in gnome-network 1.0.2 - I noticed that in CVS
gnome-network gnome-ppp is much more advanced (i.e. it has an integrated
panel applet).

Right now I use rp3. Its amazing and it worked out of the box.
