(Get the code!)
I tried to force the dialup modem functions and went into WVDIAL and tried to use a Debian gnomeppp and also the standard pppconfig. I show a connection but for some reason some thing is missing and it may be in the kernel itself. Ping works, traceroute works but there seems to be a lack of "hand shaking" for connection to any sites, including the repositories.
I doubt the removal of Dial up capability was intentional and would think it was more an oversight.
What I would like to see is a fix which could be downloaded as a .deb package from either sourceforge or some other reliable source to place in Intrepid using either Gdebi or Dpkg, both have worked fairly well on my system or an additonal mailing of interpid with the fix.
