dselect is getting the packages from wherever you pointed it at, which
if you pointed apt at a FTP site will be that FTP site.

It wasn't possible in slink, but potato has a package called "tasksel"
or something, which looks at the various task-* packages. Within
dselect you'd select task-*.
For dialup you can probably get everyhthing you need with the ppp and
pppconfig packages (you don't need the latter, but it's much easier than
configuring by hand).
