There is already a "Dialup connection" menu which is filled from entries
supplied by the system. They are not handled very well at the moment
(you can only start a connection, there is not connection indication if
it got started and you cannot modify it). But this PPP stuff may be a
start to make this a more general tool that is able to configure some
dialup connections and handle them nicely. I would love that feature
since I use PPP over my mobile to connect on the road if there is no
WiFi (so it's not just ADSL that is interesting).
