Morning

You were running SuSE, last time you emailed.  As I remember you were getting 
on better with SuSE than you were Ubuntu.  You didnt just put in a whole 
swathe of effort getting SuSE to co-operate (mostly) with you, just to smoke 
it, and reinstall Ubuntu, did you?

SuSE (through YaST) can do PPP Dialup perfectly.  If this is inadequate, 
WVDial is absolutely marvelous at the task.  Sure, it's not like Windows DUN, 
but expecting Linux to be anything like Windows is folly, no?  All it takes 
is Acclimatisation.  Which unfortunately takes time, patience, and practise.  
Time, Patience, and practise are not easy to do, but you get used to it.

Whats a "thing"?

WVDIAL instructions

After configuring WVDIAL.CONF (found in the /etc directory)
Crtl-Alt-F2
Log in as yourself, with your password
wvdial <enter> <<watch it go!>>
Ctrl-Alt-F7

I dont know Ubuntu at all.  If you've changed to Ubuntu, I cant help you.  
Sorry.
