Yes. And the most generally useful thing to do for the most people is to
make it easy for them to get a single connection working so that they can
email for help and ftp files.

I see no urgent need to add slip support. Diald may become obsolete when
demand-dialing is debugged, but I think it should have its own config
utility anyway.

I intend to add demand-dialling support, but probably not using diald.

Multiple connections aren't hard. Seperate providers for each user isn't
hard either with 2.3.1.

I have multiple objectives, the first of which is to produce a tool that
will allow new Debian users to get on the net without baffling themselves
with the ppp-HOWTO. At the moment I am just trying to add enough
flexibility to dunc to get it to generate scripts that will work with my
isp.
