  The DSL providers around here provide a utility that works just like a PPP 
dialup connection manager.  I think Linux really needs one of these as it 
makes DSL setup far more accessible for the average user.  Setting up PPPOE 
is not that easy.  Even though many distros do the "setup", it's much nicer 
to provide something similar to what the DSL provider ships their Windows 
clients.
