There's more than one way to simplify a PPP connect.  I use diald to run
ppp, and it's as simple as turn the Linux box on and start on the Net.
In fact, my non-technical flatmate does just that when he wants to get
on the Net and I'm not around.  The only other feature I've added is a
special login to shut the system down with (again, any non-technical
user could use it blindfolded). :-)  Makes a joke of the so called easy
to use GUIs. :)  I don't have busy detection yet (I might see if I can
make it even more intelligent one day), but it serves the purpose well.
:-)

... Why is brassiere singular and panties plural?
