I think that we often forget that some users struggle with dial-up 
connections. Andr&#233; pointed this out to us a couple of posts ago. Mageia 
should maybe be a little more sensitive to this and have the tools for 
dial-up connection already installed rather than having the user go back 
and download either from the install disk or internet.

My mother and father/mother-in-laws are on Madriva 2009.1 Dial-ups with 
external modems. They are quite happy with the setups, but I did have to 
install the dial-up software at the time. Apparently Kppp will be part 
of the install package with KDE installs.

I prefer external modems, less driver problems.

Dial-up in Canada is $9/month Cdn. in most cities.
