In my country there are these "time based" ADSL services (20 hours per month for a fee, etc.). I would sugest a way to control the ADSL PPPoE conection under the GUI (GNOME, KDE, XFCE... In that order :). It would be useful to, the option for dial-on-demand in a easy way in this (let's say) GNOME apllet.
