I installed Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) replacing 8.10 (Intrepid
Ibex) to find I had the same problem. Network manager would let me set
my USB dial-up modem. There wasn't even WvDial installed so I could get
a connection to install gnome-ppp! When using a live-CD to get onto the
Internet I couldn't find where I could get the .deb files for gnome-ppp
& WvDial!

So I ditched ubuntu 9.04 for Linux Mint 6, which came with WvDial
enabling me to install gnome-ppp. Thanks to AptoCD I've backed up the
.debs for gnome-ppp & wvdial, I only hope thats enough when I come to
upgrade the next time.

It would be nice to see Wvdial & gnome-ppp on the installation CD/DVD
rather than have hundreds of games which don't add to the system being
useful.
