I have just experienced the same pain. In preparing to travel to a
location where the only connection type that I can expect is dialup (OK,
do I really need to be connected, no, but to say that I have a phone
line and a place to dial in and Ubuntu will not allow me to be connected
sounds a bit wrong)

Gnome-ppp is now configured and working and shows that I have a
connection, but network manager doesn't know about it and Firefox thinks
there is no internet connection available.

Looks like I will need to take along my old (did I say old) Windows XP
laptop rather than my shiny new (did I say new) Ubuntu Jaunty laptop. Oh
the pain.

Technical details
ifconfig shows the ppp0 connection
Network Monitor 2.26.0 sees the ppp0 connection
NetworkManager Applet 0.7.0.100 does not see it.

grrrrrr!!!!!
