Try wvdial. This is automatic.

I have to concede that if out box operation of many preconfigured
desktop apps are important and security updates and customization are
secondary concern for you, those rpm based systems (openlinux/caldera, redhat,
suse, mandrake, turbolinux, ...) are easier to set them up. But
configuring and updating is another story.
Debian is nice if one needs to administer it right. :-)
