[wellylug] easy dialup settings?

[James Fitzsimons]

Hi all,
I am trying to think of a way that would enable my wife (not Linux
savvy) to be able to dial and disconnect from our ISP.

Ideally what I would like is an icon I can put on her kde desktop which
would work they same way as a dialup shortcut in windows.

At the moment I have to go through the following commands to dial out:
- su to root
- slmodemd /dev/slamr0 // this starts a user mode daemon for my winmodem
in my laptop
- ppp start // actually calls the ISP

I would like to avoid my wife having to open terminal windows and change
user to root etc... as aside from the obvious risks to the system, she
will probably freak out ;-)

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
