Ran into some issues with the Mandrake 9.0 configuring it for
a dialup account.  This is on a fresh install (not an upgrade).

The gnome modem-lights applet (which is a really handy way to control
manual or on-demand dialup connections) is preset to switch the ppp on
and off using two scripts pppon and pppoff ... do these scripts exist
anywhere?  IMHO, Mandrake should standardize on diald as the preferred
dial-up method as it's far more frugal than plain pppd on-demand mode
and a breeze to set up.

Also on the topic of using dialup and ppp, the installation process
leads to a form to enter your dialup connection, but there is no way
to actually /use/ that connection (this is for someone else's machine)
The means to connect given in the menus (twice) leads to gnome-ppp
where you must enter all the connection information in again.

How should we use the sysconfig/network-scripts/drakconnect_conf
information?
