I find gnome-ppp in the hoary. It is very simple to use for teenagers to 
connect internet. And I have the time of connection.
I have a problem. I have to open with root privileges to connect with

How to add the first user created for using the modem (I have the 
message /dev/ttySHSF0 acces denied but /dev/ttySHSF0 have 660 privileges) ?
