As I explained in a previous mail, I can't help you with dial-up -
except maybe point you to this page (I have no idea if it is helpful):

Use the command

dpkg --get-selections |grep -e -generic

to find the installed kernels. I don't know which kernels are installed
on your system, so I send the output of the above command on my machine:

linux-generic                                   install
linux-headers-3.13.0-128-generic                install
linux-headers-3.13.0-129-generic                install
linux-headers-3.13.0-132-generic                install
linux-headers-generic                           install
linux-image-3.13.0-128-generic                  install
linux-image-3.13.0-129-generic                  install
linux-image-3.13.0-132-generic                  install
linux-image-extra-3.13.0-128-generic            install
linux-image-extra-3.13.0-129-generic            install
linux-image-extra-3.13.0-132-generic            install
linux-image-generic                             install

I want to keep the last two kernels, so I should remove the oldest
version 3.13.0-128. That would be this command:

sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-3.13.0-128-generic linux-image-3.13.0-128-generic linux-image-extra-3.13.0-128-generic
