Hi Matthias
If your after a extremely simple way for all your users to connect to
the Internet via modem (ppp) and dont want them to have to know any
root, ISP passwords etc. check out Easy DialUp.
It takes a different spin on current Linux dialup client thinking.

Download:

Note: its still a work in progress but all the basic stuff works.
Cheers
