BTW, is there some plan to add a decent PPP dialer to the

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.
