For that matter, the modem lights applet makes a handy dialer if you set
it up right. Set up the dialup through linuxconf as ppp0. Oce you are
satisfied that users can "/sbin/ifup ppp0" successfully, open up the
properties for the modem lights applet and put that as the dialup command
and "/sbin/ifdown ppp0" for the disconnect. After that, the button on the
bottom or left of it (depending on how you have it setup) acts as a
dial/disconnect button.
