Gnome-ppp

[Bill Christiansen]

I installed gnome-ppp from source and then I realised there was a Debian 
package I could have used so you could download the debian package and 
install with: dpkg -i gnome-ppp_0.3.14-1_i386.deb, you still need wvdial 
as gnome-ppp is a gui front end for it. To stop wvdial dialing when I 
didn't want it to I deleted my dial-up connection from the Network Setup 
GUI (I originally had it in there along side my eth0  connection but 
found that whenever I enabled or disabled eth0 the modem would 
automatically dial). Now I only have eth0 in my Network settings and my 
dial-up is setup with gnome-ppp so it only dials when I want it to.

Also I can't connect as a normal user through wvdial  becuse it requeries me a Pid number.
