It seems to have been reborn as Modem Monitor.

It just about worked for me under Hoary, once I had made manual
adjustments to the chatscript to work with a non-standard dialing tone.

In my opinion better to use Gnome PPP (from the universe repository).
It is much more versatile and can be set up completely from the gui.  It
isn't a panel applet, but you can just drag the icon from the menu to
the top panel to make a shortcut that looks like an applet.
