Hi,
I think Debian biggest advantage is the intelligent package handling.
PPP is very good pre-configured. I use it here without any problems.
Normaly you have to edit two files (/etc/ppp.chatscript and
/etc/ppp.options_out) and perhaps /etc/ppp/pap-secrets (if your provider
uses the PAP authentification method) - and you should get a connection.
In /usr/doc/ppp you will find more information.
