You may want to look at the xisp package in the contrib section if you are running X. Xisp allows you to store and use configurations for several different ISP's. Its window also provides you with information on the connection speed, dynamic IP number, and elapsed time. I have noticed that I need to run it as root for it to complete its work. If I run it under a non-root login, even one in the "ppp" group, it does all the dialing and establishing the connection, starting ppp, etc. then hangs. I suspect there are permission problems with ifconfig or something like that. I haven't had time to look at it so I just spring up a root window and run it from there.
