I feel a *prominent* and *simple* solution should be presented to new
users - i.e. human beings. A decent GUI front end to pppconfig would
be an idea. If I knew how to program I would do one myself, but as I
don't, I'm appealing to the experts on this list.
I agree, and this should be part of the installation procedure, as
well as being accessible by a GUI frontend in Ubuntu ("network setup"
and "modem lights" panel app?) and Kubuntu (kppp?) later. Who would be
responsible for that and how can I help him/her?

One way to start would be to fill out the NonBroadbandUsers spec
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NonBroadbandUsers> (and perhaps rename it to
something less negative!), briefly describing the current situation,
then listing what needs to be done -- extra packages that can and
should be legally included, which is the best config utility to
include, how it should be polished, etc.
