Note that the packages are installed, but they do not run unless you
need them. "tasks" != "processes" in this discussion. At worst, it's
1 MB or so of disk space.
Having said that, separate tasks for dialup, ISDN dialup, DSL (pppoe),
and cable modem would be nice, but not really essential.
$SHOVELWARE_DISTRO_OF_THE_WEEK probably doesn't even make the dialup
task optional :-)
