I tend to use two graphical dialing programs instead of scripts here.
They include xisp and ezppp.  I compiled xisp on my SuSE 5.0 distribution
and had a pretty easy time of it.  ezppp works from the binary
distribution.  People have reported some problems with dropping the pppd;
but I have some minor fixes that seem to help me at least.  There are
sample scripts also.
