This should be fixed in Hardy. NetworkManager still doesn't support
PPPOE but now Gnome has a gui for it under System - Network - PPP . You
could recheck it with the Hardy Alpha 5 Live CD
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/hardy/alpha-5/ .

This bug is partially solved in Baltix GNU/Linux by installing Xdialog
packages. Current Ubuntu xdialog packages depend on old GTK1 libraries, so, we
used package from Debian experimental, see:

There has been two major releases since this bug was first reported. Is
there any chance of this being repaired sometime soon? Like, say, by
cribbing the source code already available at the URL posted above?

That spec seems to be missing the point entirely. The issue isn't just
that it's CLI vs. GUI. It's that the CLI thing itself requires the user
to try out about a thousand different ways to connect and provides no
useful feedback (of any kind!) when it fails. Any sane user would
rather have a CLI

While it does not mean specifically user ID input, I am sure an easy Id system
will be implemented. For this reason, I am closing
