Thank you Michel. I shall advise my friend to follow your advice.

It is strange though, that Ubuntu Gnome does not have a proper default
install of a Panel Applet to run a modem without resorting to password
access. One shouldn't really have to download such software after an
install. Not everyone is hooked up to broadband over ethernet. Ah, c'est
la vie.
