I tried about 6 months ago to get gnome-ppp working, and I was never
satisfied with it. It seemed like maybe when I changed settings, they
didn't take effect until I logged out/in again. Anyway, I dumped it for
wvdial launched from the gnome panel.
You could probably google wvdial and my name and find the thread I
started on this list.
