I too am stumbling with Debian. I got gnome to work by getting the
following files:
gdk-imlib1_1.8.1-0.1_i386.deb libgtkxmhtml0_0.30-1_i386.deb
gnome-core_0.30-1_i386.deb libgtop0_0.26.0-1_i386.deb
gnome-desktop_0.28.1-1_i386.deb liborbit0_0.3.0-1_i386.deb
gnome-panel_0.30-1_i386.deb libpanel-applet0_0.30-1_i386.deb
gnome-session_0.30-1_i386.deb libungif3g_3.0-2_i386.deb
libglib1.1_1.1.3-1_i386.deb orbit_0.3.0-1_i386.deb
libgnome0_0.30-1_i386.deb slib_2c3-3.deb
libgtk1.1_1_3A1.1.2-1_i386.deb
I pretty sure that's all of them. I placed them in the same directory
and did a dpkg -i * and let dpkg do its thing. That seemed to work as I
now have gnome working. I'm not sure if I updated any other packages for
this or not. I had to upgrade some stuff to get lpr and apsfilter to
install because I couldn't make lprng and magicfilter to work for me.
Now only if I can figure out how to build window maker 0.50.2!

I'm using wvdial right now. It's a snap to get configured. All you have
to do is run wvdialconf as root. I then added my normal user account to
groups dip and dialout so that I can run wvdial. Also don't forget to
add your DNS addresses to the /etc/resolv.conf file like so:
search .
nameserver ###.###.###.###
nameserver ###.###.###.###
If you need more help, the ISP-Hookup-HOWTO is invaluable. Check it out
in /usr/doc/HOWTO.
