Exactly. So you have lots of experience doing it. Let some computer illiterate

How many times have you used ADSL with Windows before? How many times have
use configured it on Linux before? Compare the numbers and you'll know why
it took a week.

Just an anecdotal note: A good friend of mine with lot's of Windows experience
and almost no Linux experience, had to configure Linux for cables. After
I mailed him the URL for netvision pptp package (from CABLES-HOWTO, thanks
Tal), he told me: "...Just dropped the scripts in place... work like a charm
.. piece of cake".
