I believe there's one in gnome-system-tools. The decision has not yet been
made for that new module. Try it out. Tell us what you think.


in the gnome-system-tools there is a network-admin tool, that configures
PPP too, but I understand that this is not designed as a PPP dialer, I'm
planning to write one based on gst, as you may run a standalone ppp druid
when doing:

./network-admin --ppp-connection

This is an excellent idea. I tried to set up a pair of PPP connections with network-admin and they worked flawlessly at first launch (the connections druid looks great, too). As Carlos remarked, though, network-admin is a configuration tool, unsuitable for this use: actually all that you need after having configured a PPP(/other) connection is a small utility/applet to activate the desired connection.
