Gnome-ppp provides an applet (or rather a taskbar notification) when
connected.  It is more of what you would expect a modem dialer to do
(i.e. not ask for your password)  I think the gnome-networking-tool
uses some gnome-ppp code.





I wonder if a feature-request or bug report should be made about this. 
It is a real problem.  You should not have to install stuff from
universe to get you mother to be able to go on the net without typing
in her password.
