Isn't it about time that a single user Linux box could do auto dial up ? I mean if window$ can do it I'm sure Linux can too. I've tried with diald and had very mixed results usually not working at all. I read somewhere that ppp was capable but I have never managed to get it to work ! There was talk, when in X, of kPPP having this option, but that was back in KDE 2 days and it still hasn't materialised ! Moreover, when in X, if you want to click on a link you first have to bring up the dialer and then dial out manually !! Not only is this a pain but it certainly doesn't attract window$ users who have the ability to dial automatically / work off line / cancel the attempt all together from a single dialog.

Before anyone hits reply and says we can't do this read how it's done. Basically this is a bootstrap RPM that takes and sets up a build environment, builds a spec file that downloads the fonts (modified from the sourceforge one), installs the resulting RPM, and removes the build enviornment and the the resulting RPM.
You always assume people have a DSL connection ....
Most computers still have a simple RTC modem and in that case, you'll need to set up the connection, transferring, assuming everything is going fine.
I remind everybody that kppp isn't working if you are not root in 9.0 ... (of course when you use the rpm, you are, but i'm not sure i'll like a kppp root connection !)
