As a kind of a 'stopover' (till someone with some _proper_ programming
skills comes up with something), I've written a simple bash script in dialog
that asks the user for his isp, username, password and also prompts for
speed/com port of the modem. It will then set up everything, hopefully. It's
based on the ingenious debian ppp connection setup script "pppconfig", and
also includes the 'pon' and 'poff' scripts to help bring up/down the
connection.
It's not pretty. It's not guaranteed to work. The only systems it's been
tested with have been slackware 7 and debian 2.1/2.2. But if anyone wants to
try it out and report it's errors and stuff to me, it's available at
