I have a somewhat similiar problem when using the RH PPP dialer, or good
old ppp scripts.  However, the only way I can establish a connection is by
using the kppp dialer, my modem always hangs up after handshaking when
using ifup ppp0.

My question: is there a dialer as good as kppp in the works for Gnome, one
that is able to override bad configurations or problems such as these?
