true and the netinstall of debian don't coming with ppp for dialup connecion
something dont make sense......

Report a bug against the netinstall package then. I didn't need ppp for netinstall over dial-up (since there was a Win98SE machine with ppp and internet connection sharing connected via ethernet to the new Debian install machine), but it should be possible to do an install from boot floppies (or netinstall CD) and a dial-up connection.
